Fauxbar Lite's Omnibox search lacks history results #43

Closed Chealer closed 5 years ago

Chealer commented 5 years ago

After switching from Fauxbar to Fauxbar Lite, I noticed that some pages I accessed are missing from the suggested completions in the Omnibox. For example, I accessed URL "https ://github.com/ ChrisNZL/Fauxbar/issues/41", but entering "NZL" in the Omnibox only suggests Google searches.

With another example, this screenshot shows completion for a history entry working: works But with a different "search term" ("7140") also part of the entry's URL, that same entry is not suggested, as can be seen in this screenshot: fails Suggestion also fails when there are letters, if trying with "tem7140" for example. It seems completion only works if the search term immediately follows a slash.

To search via Fauxbar (or Fauxbar Lite) from Chrome's Omnibox, you need to type f before your query, like f item714 or f 7140. You'll then see "Fauxbar" or "Fauxbar Lite" at the start of the Omnibox UI.

Thank you Chris. Sorry for this bogus report in that case. Could this be considered instead as a request to replace "press F+Spacebar" with «type "f " (the letter "f" followed by a space)» in Fauxbar Lite's presentation? I ignored that part because I couldn't understand it, thinking this was asking to press 2 keys simultaneously.

For v1.8.0, I've added CSS key styling for F+Spacebar in the options to make it clearer.

Also added keyboard tags in the wiki articles just now.
