[EDITED] There is a bug when you search in the address bar:
If you have the “Show autocomplete suggestions in the address bar” option disabled, and type something in the address bar to search, but you switch to another tab and then go back to the previous tab and change what you had written or type more and press enter (to search), it will only search for what you had written before switching tabs.
This is something that happens no matter what search engine you have
how to reproduce it:
1-Disable the option “Show autocomplete suggestions in the address bar”
2-open 2 tabs
3-in the first tab write “a” in the address bar
4-go to the second tab
5-return to the first tab
6-change “a” to “b” or add “b” in the address bar
7-press enter (to search)
and “a” will be searched instead of “b”
@AdriGamer I just tried to replicate but not having that issue. I almost wish you could show a video of it happening if possible. You can see in video below where I tried what you shared, but no such issue as you’re reporting.
Mattches, I was able to test as they mentioned and the issue occurs both on Nightly and on Release.
For example, I typed in the a, went to other tab, came back, changed a to b and submitted. The search came back as results for a. Then tried where typed in somewhere, tabbed, swapped back, changed somewhere to something and submitted, but the results given was for somewhere.
Also doesn’t seem to matter which search engine used as happened both with Brave and Google as default search.
