Steps to reproduce:
Type in the address bar, wait for Orion to suggest a URL to be entered.

Expected behaviour:
The rest of the URL should be auto completed for the user, resulting in the ability to just hit enter and go to the suggested website.

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Orion Version 0.99.115.3-beta (WebKit 614.1.12)
MacBook Air M1, MacOS 12.4

    Same with Vlad. Do you have your autocomplete suggestions on in the Settings?

      Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with work.

      I've done a bit more research into this issue, and it turns out Orion does auto-complete the URL, but only when "History" is enabled in the preferences under the search tab. This seems to enable the "Top Hits" category, which then leads to Orion auto-completing the rest of the URL.

      I like to only leave "Bookmarks" enables under search in preferences, which does not seem to enable "Top Hits" therefore the URL is not autocompleted, as shown in the video in OP.

        Vlad It seems that way.

        Steps to reproduce the issue:

        • Disable everything but 'Bookmarks' under Search tab in preferences.
        • Type something in the address bar that you have saved as a bookmark.
        • URL will not autocomplete as it does for history.

          Hi, i have the same (or similar) issue. After the URL bar found the domain Top Hit, i enter it, but instead it start to search on Google or gave me "cant open" screen, in my case. See video.

            I think I know what's going on here,
            If for Wikipedia as example you type
            wiki it won't auto complete
            but if you type en.wiki it will autocomplete

            so it will only autocomplete if you type using the actual first characters of the URL not characters that makeup the url.

            Also I see now why Safari has the smartest URL autocomplete and all other browsers have comparatively dumb autocomplete. It's because Safari uses Siri for suggestions, and also page titles and it almost always suggests the site and domain completion, even if it's not in history and bookmarks, no other browser does this. Kinda strange though because auto suggest in iMessages on iOS/macOS is so fscking dumb it's embarrassing, having a conversation, lets say about lunch, the word is typed several times in the conversation yet its too fsckin dumb to suggest the same word again, does it for many words...but that't Apple not Orion..oops.

              Yeah, again Autocomplete is brain dead

              Will not even complete macrumors
              which has 31 results in history.
