Quick Searches Not Working Again

Hi Vlad,

This is STILL NOT WORKING

I have indeed very carefully set up a Quick Bookmark precisely the way you have described.

I have double checked every single detail and made sure absolutely everything matches what is shown in your picture and every detail is exactly 100% correct in my set up.

I have painstakingly checked every detail for accuracy and ensure this is done 100% correctly according to the Orion Help Article which instructs you how to perform Quick Searches.

But the Quick Search function is NOT WORKING.

When I type the invocation character or keyword into the Orion Address Bar and the Search Term "cats",
I get sent to a Bing Search result page for Cats.

I DO NOT GET A YOUTUBE SEARCH FOR CATS.

Bing is set as my default Search Engine In Orion.

What is going on?

I have tried many times and I can never get Quick Searches to perform properly.

Please Note I have attached several Screenshots so you can see that I have set up my Quick Search exactly as described.

Here is the PROOF that I have set up the Quick Search correctly:

I am using: Orion
Version 0.99.128.2.1-beta (WebKit 619.1.11.111.2)
Build date Aug 3 2024
iMac (macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 build 23G93)

Please fix the Quick Search function again as it is broken and simply not working.

I have REMOVED ALL EXTENSIONS and that has NOT fixed this issue.

That tells us this not an EXTENSION conflict causing the issue with Quick Searches not functioning.

I will proceed to completely and very thoroughly remove 100% of all traces of Orion that I can find on my iMac.

I will then download and install a fresh new copy of Orion's installer from your website and install it.

I will leave it completely 100% unaltered.

I will then very carefuly set up a Quick Search and try to see if the Quick Search function works properly.

That will inform us if it is my Default Profile that is the source of this issue as I have ruled out Extensions as being the cause.

I will do this right now it shouldn't take long and will report back soon.

I have found the source of the problem, when I go into the Orion Settings and go to the Search Settings if I disable/uncheck the options for Autocomplete Suggestions in for Search and History the Quick Search function fails.

I can completely disable 100% of all Autocomplete Suggestions in the Brave browser and still retain the Quick Search/Custom Search function. I have at least 10 Quick Search/Custom Searches set up in Brave and all function perfectly with Autocomplete Suggestions 100% completley disabled.

Please fix this bug in Orion so I can use the Quick Search functions with ZERO Autocomplete being active.

I only wish to see what I type into my address bar and absolutely ZERO autocomplete suggestions, as they the suggestions are usually incorrect.

eirk
Disabling/Unhecking the Autocomplete for Bookmark has NOT stopped my Quick Searches from working.

However the Quick Searches will not work if I uncheck or disable the Autocomplete Suggestions for Search, Unchecking the History Autocomplete has also disabled the Quick Search function.

After exhaustive checking of all my Orion Settings and Uninstalling/Reinstalling Orion and leaving it in an untouched "virginal" state those 2 items are the only options which block Quick Searches.

There has also been a new method added to create them, Go To the Orion Settings>Search>Manage Search Engines, There you will find Orion have added the ability to add a Quick Search/Custom Search. Using that method doesn't create a Bookmark to store your Quick Searches you have created.

After creating a Quick Search that way I very thoroughly checked all my Bookmarks and confirmed no new Bookmark was created. That method of creating the Quick Search/Custom Search is storing all the details there in Settings for Search.

The Quick Search function performed perfectly with ZERO Bookmarks.

However when I unchecked/disabled the Autocomplete Suggestions for Search, History, regardless if either one or both are disabled the Quick Searches are once again blocked.

This should NOT be happening when the new method is used to create Quick Searches/Custom Searches as no Bookmarks are involved or created.

Disabling anything in Autocomplete Suggestions should NOT ever block a Quick Search/Custom Search.

I have never, ever had this problem with the Brave Browser. In Brave's Settings I have disabled Absolutely everything related to the Autocomplete Suggestions, despite all the Automplete Suggestions being disabled the Quick Search/Custom Search function works perfectly.

Brave's method involves going into the Settings for the various Search Engines and adding a new Search Engine, once they are created the Quick Searches are stored there and work perfectly with Autocomplete Suggestions completely and totally disabled.

Are you being serious?,

If after reading everything posted above, Is it not quite obvious what the bug is?!!!!!!

Quick Searches/Custom Searches will NOT work if I disable/uncheck the Autocomplete Suggestions for Search and History.

Disabling one or the other or both items and the Quick Searches will not work.

I wish to have my Quick/Custom Searches working with 100% of all autocomplete suggestions disabled. This is for privacy reasons and the autocomplete suggestions are often not accurate.

I can have 100% of autocomplete suggestions disabled in the Brave browser and my 10 Quick Searches/Custom Searches work perfectly.

Sorry for being a bit snappy, but this is the 2nd time Orions Quick Searches have been giving me problems.
I

I fully understand that you have to read through a awful lot of posts here every single day, I imagine that would be a very tedious task and that would be a test of anybody's patience.

However, I believe that I had made it very clear and concise in the Topic /Heading for the post precisely what the issue is.

You only needed to read the very first post in this thread and pay close attention to details to clearly understand exactly what the technical issue/bug is that I am complaining about.

Orion's Quick Search/Custom Search function is giving me problems for the 2nd time and still not working properly.

Brave browser has had the same function since their browser was released and I have never, ever had problems with their Quick Search/Custom Search, In the Brave browser I have manually created at least 10 custom Quick Searches and Autocomplete is always completely and totally 100% disabled and the Quick search/Custom Search function works perfectly with no technical issues.

I simply asked if there was an update as to when this will be fixed.

I DID NOT MAKE ANY DEMANDS AT ALL.

I SIMPLY REQUESTED AN UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE.

I do not consider that I have been unreasonable or demanding. Especially when you consider that
I have been having various issues with the Orion Quick Search function since May 2024.

Yet after 5 months, the Quick Search function is still NOT working properly.

The Quick Search function is important to me personally, I have over 12 Quick Searches/Custom Searches which perform flawlessly in Chrome, Brave and Firefox. They enable me to very quickly and easily search my favourite websites in a quick, easy and convenient manner.

It is now almost halfway through October and the various technical issues with the Quick Search function are STILL ONGOING.

This is a very, very, very, very long wait of 5 months, during this time I believe that I have shown patience. I do indeed fully understand and appreciate that there are 2000 open issues.

You have previously indicated that this issue would only require a simple and quick easy technical fix, your statement raised my hopes that this issue would taken care of without too much delay.

Please throw us a lifeline and make an enquiry about approximately when we could possibly see this fixed at last after a very long, long, long, long, long wait.......................................................................

I very strongly believe that Orion should focus upon GET ALL EXISTING TECHNICAL ISSUES SORTED before adding even more features.

It is completely nonsensical to keep adding more and more features when the existing 2000 Technical Issues have not been fixed. Adding even more features, while there are 2000 existing Technical Issues which remain unresolved is absolutely ludicrous, this only serves to increase your work load.

Instead of piling in even more features I would much rather have a dependable browser with the vast majority of Technical issues fixed.

THEN AND ONLY THEN should more features be added

I simply can not recommend Orion as a stable browser to anyone.

Ongoing Technical Issues still not fixed after 5 very long months of waiting is simply not good enough.
