Show results page with more entries? #75

Hello lengstrom!

Great extension! But it has serious usability flaw. When i enter some falcon query, it shows only few results in the search bar, and when i hit enter, nothing happens, moreover, my falcon query is not saved to the search history. So if i have many relevant items in my history, i can not get their complete list, and moreover, i have to enter my query again and again in order to open more than one relevant page.

So it would be great if you make some results page that would list some (customizable) quantity of found pages, and maybe even many such list pages like in google search.

Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue, but apparently this is not a limitation of falcon. This is how much Chrome's omnibox will display. To change it, type chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-max-autocomplete-matches in the address bar and look for "Omnibox UI Max Autocomplete Matches" The max allowed there is 12. Not great but better than 6!

Well, I have change omnibox-ui-max-autocomplete-matches to 12 but Falcon still show only 6 entries, while historysearch could show hundreds entries.
