New issue 27496 by maxadamo: separated search engine bar or indicator for
search engine (feature request)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=27496
Chrome Version : 4.0.245.0 (Ubuntu build 31665)
URLs (if applicable) : N/A
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 4: it has search engine bar with icon indicator OK
Firefox 3.x: it has search engine bar with icon indicator OK
IE 7: it has search engine bar with icon indicator OK
IE 8: it has search engine bar with icon indicator OK
Opera: it has search engine bar with icon indicator OK
What steps will reproduce the problem?
there isn't any indicator/icon telling you which search engine you are
using in that
moment, and chromium doesn't have a spearated search engine bar.
What is the expected result?
get a separated search bar, or a way to easily determine which search
engine is set
in that moment.
What happens instead?
As we can state all browsers (opera, IE, Firefox, Safari) have a separated
search
engine bar, with a small icon indicating the search eengine that you use in
that
moment. Chromium has the search enginge bar mixed with URL bar and no icon
appears.
We should wonder why, and why chromium doesn't have one.
It's really usefull for users to NOT have such bar, or it is just something
to say
"we think different" from others?
I have some doubt, and to be honest I found useful the search bar from the
other
browsers.
I know it's possible to change the search engine in chromium by
right-clicking on
the bar, but in my opinion this is not the best. Most of the times I
prefear typing
the complete url of the search engine, because after I can forget to
reverse the
previous search engine.......... and next time I don't know which search
engine has
been set.
