Hey @jputting

I understand your frustration regarding the fact that a key feature your workflow needs is not functioning the way you believe it should, and I am indeed able to reproduce the behavior on my setup.

I also understand that Vlad has noted that this issue may have a simple fix in #8573 (the word should could also be carrying some heft in that post).

We all have our visions on what the Orion team should be focusing on, and while it is not something you necessarily wish to hear, this is a rather niche request as the vast majority of Orion users would be perfectly happy with there being search engine suggestions or history hits when typing their quick search query in the URL bar. It does not in any way complicate their workflow. An argument in favor of the privacy concern you have raised could be made but if you use a search engine that respects you privacy, it shouldn't be an issue that search suggestions are, for now, pulled from it even when using quick searches.

I'd like to thank you for supporting Orion, and for being passionate about improving the browser. I am sure this bug will eventually be addressed as it would indeed make sense to be able to use quick searches even with all autocomplete suggestions disabled. For now I have to ask you to remain patient and respectful, as the team is doing more than their best in bringing the absolute best browser for both macOS and iOS. We all have our own "if Orion had just this one feature I wouldn't have to use any other browsers", and one day we'll get there.

The team is hard at work even as I am typing this, and the next Orion desktop release is looking very exciting both with technical issues being fixed and new features being added 🙂 — who knows whose "just this one thing" will be fixed or added next.

    I will now be withdrawing all support for Orion and completely uninstalling it.

    It is absolutely shameful and disgusting that technical issues still continue to arise with Quick Search after 5 months of waiting for this function to be fixed and work properly.

    This is simply not a case of "if Orion had this one feature I would not have to use any other browsers",
    It is a simple case that the Quick Search function has always had technical issues and never worked properly, this is despite repeated complaints. Yet after 5 months of waiting this function is STILL BROKEN.

    Yet still there is NO END IN SIGHT FOR THIS MESS

    It is simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH that you have still not sorted out the 2000 existing technical issues with Orion.

    God only knows how long you will take to sort out the other 2000 issues reported here.

    It is sheer idiocy to pile on even more features when 2000 complaints have NOT BEEN FIXED.

    Adding more features while 2000 technical issues simply creates a much, much bigger workload for your technical team.

    It is far better to get the basic functions working reliably and sort out the existing issues before piling on more features, which I can be certain will contain plenty of technical issues.

    I am absolutely disgusted by the extremely long delays in regarding getting these problems fixed.

    I WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE EXTREMELY LONG DELAYS FOR GETTING TECHNICAL ISSUES.

    ORION BROWSER IS NOW COMPLETELY UNINSTALLED FROM MY MAC.

    Using the Orion browser has been a very unpleasant and very frustrating experience as there are many, many technical faults which take forever to be fixed.

    This simply a browser which I can not bear to use again. There are many technical bugs particularly in relation to Chrome Extensions not working properly.

    The fact remains that I know many people whom have tried Orion and quickly uninstall it because of the sheer number of technical faults and things which simply do not work properly.

    Orion is a very poor quality and badly performing browser and it is not suitable for everyday usage as my main browser.

    The sheer number of technical issues and extremely long delays in fixing problems with Orion means that it will never achieve its goal of being the best browser for macOS and iOS.

    Orion in its current state is the worst browser for macOS and iOS.
