@levicki You can press the down arrow after typing the thing to search on google.
But yes, it's annoying.

Or, even better, don't be stupid.
Create a bookmark for Google.com (or whatever search engine you prefer) and whenever you want to search for something, just click on your bookmark and do a proper search, and completely bypass the stupidity that is now built into browsers.
The only way to win is to not play the game.

Types "rendermgr.getrenderoptions" into Firefox address bar.
First thing I do whenever I set up Firefox for me, because IMVPAHO (YMMV) using the same text field for address and search is and always has been a completely stupid idea.

For you certainly. The amount pupils I have to tell that: "No, the search field is not where you put in a URL!" is staggering, however.
-
For me, the ideal UI would be a single input bar, but two different keys for URL navigation and search. Like, Enter goes to Google and never tries to resolve the domain, but Numpad-Enter or something just opens the link.
Separate fields are just too easy to mess up when typing blind.
Edit: or an alternative to Ctrl+T that opens a new tab with focus in the search field instead of address bar. That I could live with.
Edit 2: or eye tracking that changes the focus between address bar or search bar depending on whether I'm looking at the left or right half of the screen.
Anything but having to click/tab through the right field.

Status: Getting really tired of this guy's propensity to approach problems with "let's get this other product and try to bolt it on to this one because this one doesn't have the advanced feature I want but don't want to spend half a second seeing if someone else has made a solution not requiring that other product."

@levicki Slightly related: Opera will sometimes auto-suggest URL completions for whatever you're typing in the address bar. However, if you select any of them, it'll search your default search engine for that URL.

You jest, but there is no workflow yet.
I've had to back him down from getting a (useless to the particular application) Stream Deck he intended to use magic with to control a program with python which would invoke AutoHotKey to.... well, Rube would have been proud.
Instead of spending a few grand on extraneous stuff (at one point he was considering buying a testing suite to "drive" the programs in question), when everything could be solvable with a single AutoHotKey script and some batch file glue.The problem seems to be he doesn't trust his people to do anything close to The Right Thing and so preemptively goes and tries to do it himself, and he's no programmer...

- try to log in to Toyota app
- it asks me to enter an email address
- they send me a verification code
- I submit it
- it asks me to choose a password
- I generate a password with my password vault
- I fill in the form with my password vault
- it overwrites the verification code with my username
- I can't submit because the verification code (which I already submitted and they accepted) is now wrong
- I can't enter the correct verification code because the field is readonly

They have a fucki--- of course they do. Everyone has an App...
They have several. One for service, one for apps connectivity, one for finance, and one that... I'm not sure what it does, actually.

So that third-party apps can integrate with cars and shit? That's all I can imagine would make even the slightest bit of sense...

Looks for separate search field, finds none by default.
Besides what other people have said already, you can also press Ctrl+K anywhere or type ? in the address bar first.

No. Just no. I mean, I could work with that. But it's highly unintuitive and very easy to mess up.

Ctrl+K. (short for "ksearch", presumably)

It doesn't open a new tab, and due to awkward positioning, takes a lot longer to input than usual. Thanks but no thanks.

This, however, is extremely useful for disambiguation when Firefarts is too stupid to read my mind itself. Thanks! Like, actually thanks this time!

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
Basically you can't search anything containing a dot unless you use a separate search field
Yes, you can.
-
You can prefix it with the search engine keywords (like
dd
orgg
—I have them set up since ages, so I don't remember how it is done). -
When you type it, you can press ↓, which should have the search option:

Fair enough. (though you could still type Alt+Enter instead of simply Enter to open the result in a new tab [while on the subject of unintuitiveness]).
-
Typing ? first also works with Chrome, btw.
In particular, instead of having a ? in your combined bar, it will still keep the address bar empty but show a "Search Google" badge:
Pressing backspace then will remove the badge and leave back a ?, which I find is a nice touch.
How you do the opposite, prevent it from searching typed addresses, is something I don't know. I'm interested in knowing if there is a way.
-
@levicki said in WTF Bites:
Regardless, it is a shitty behavior of address bar.
- Chrome tends to err on the other side. I find that even more annoying.
- The automatic prefixing of www, that is definitely annoying.
- I don't like the separate search bar myself, never did, and have been using the search keywords since they appeared in Konqueror over 20 years ago.

Add a trailing "/" in Chrome. Not sure about FF.

See, you keep saying this like it's something you believe. Stop that. Stop believing. You're going to be better off that way.

Aren't they calling it the awesome bar nowadays?
Or was it Omni bar? Everyone keeps renaming it to different things...
-
@Tsaukpaetra Yeah, I think Firefox calls it awesome bar and Chrome calls it omnibox, or something stupid like this.

That's because those "URL completions" are probably search completions.

And speaking of pagination, a certain site - NexusMods, to be precise - uses some bullshit pagination where pages still cannot be bookmarked, because page number is not being passed in the query string
Instead we're being very modern and pass around JSON with all the listing parameters (sort order, adult filter, page size - achtung! subscribtors only feature!, etc.).
Cue the generated such as:
<script>$( function(){Filters_Pagination.Load( { RequestHelper: window.RH_ModList, id: "page", pages: [ {id: '1', text: '1'}, {id: '2', text: '2'}, {id: '3', text: '3'}, // and the list goes on and on... {id: '11423', text: '11423'}, ] } );});</script>
I'm not surprised that Robby attracted a bunch of JS-tards to code the site. But it does explain where the money has been going and why the site's getting slower and slower, to the point of images not loading. Not that one-time payment to remove ads was ever going to be sustainable for a site that stores petabytes of dweeb screenshots of their Skyrim waifus...
Good thing I found something better to do than look into more closely

Maybe, but 90+% of the time they're the exact URL I want to go to

That looks suspiciously similar to a turd.

it's actually spelled oi'o but I spelled a quarter of the word in capital letters (OIhO) to demonstrate that lojban doesn't need apostrophes
(yes, h is a capital letter)

No. It doesn't have the “capital letter” flag set in its Unicode character definition.
