I can see the logic in what you are saying. Perhaps it would make the most sense to throw everything with one word that contains a period to the error page -- gnome.ort and gnemo.org would get that -- but anything with a space or without a period that doesn't match a smart bookmark could go to a web search instead. It sounds complicated, but it's really not. Anything that looks like an URL would be loaded as an URL; everything else is either a smart bookmark or web search. Does this satsify your use case while still retaining Epiphany's quick and easy search method? -- Cheers, -Ryan Thiessen- _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
