Issue 2191: Omnibar does not autocomplete to URLs not explicitly typed in
before
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2191
New issue report by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Product Version : 0.2.149.29
URLs (if applicable) : N/A
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 3: Not tested
Firefox 3: OK
IE 7: N/A
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Visit a page (for example, www.example.one.com) by typing in the URL.
2. Visit another page (for example, www.example.two.com) by following a
hyperlink (or
opening a bookmark). Do it say one hundred times.
3. Open a new tab. Most Visited will likely show www.example.two.com,
because you
visited it 100 times. It will likely not show www.example.one.com, because
you
visited it only once.
4. Start typing in the Omnibar: example
What is the expected result?
Omnibar autocompletes "example" to "www.example.two.com" (possibly among
other
results), because you visited it 100 times already, and it is displayed in
the "Most
Visited" thumbnail gallery.
What happens instead?
Omnibar autocompletes "example" to "www.example.one.com" (possibly among
other
results), although you've been there only once. "www.example.two.com" is not
displayed at all.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
This behavior is obviously by design, as documented in the page 20 of the
Chrome
comic (http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/): "it'll only autocomplete
to
something you've explicitly typed before". However, it is counter-intuitive
and hurts
the usability of the Omnibar. Omnibar should respect the visit count,
regardless of
the way you visited a particular URL: typing it in, clicking on a
hyperlink, opening
a bookmark, etc.
