Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. In the address bar, type the name of a website (that's not in your history). For example "ebay" 2. Look at the auto complete suggestions What is the expected behavior? If I type a specific website name, to see that website's URL listed. What went wrong? It is not listed. Did this work before? Yes Chrome version: 67.0.3396.99 Channel: stable OS Version: OS X 10.13.6 Flash Version: Chrome used to suggest what is presumably the top hit for whatever you typed in. Not all the time, I think it stuck to major websites. But even that never happens now, I tried typing in large websites that aren't in my history (e.g. linkedin, ebay) and their URLs do not get suggested, you can only search for them.

I can reproduce this. Looks like an internal issue. I've created a bug b/111749019 for this. The root cause appears to be non-Chrome specific, but affects Chrome Omnibox.

The desktop address bar (omnibox) only suggests URLs that you've never been to if you provide a hint that you want to go to a URL. For example, if you type "http://face", you'll get suggestions for facebook.com (and other facebook URLs that you haven't visited). Closing at working as intended for now. We're thinking about changing this to make it more willing to suggest URL that you haven't visited. Thanks for the encouragement! |
