Brave’s search suggestions don’t properly index my History and Bookmarks. For some reason, the search suggestions only show URLs from my History or Bookmarks IF I’m almost done filling out the URL/title OR the suggestion doesn’t show at all.
For example, if I bookmarked a YouTube video, and the URL begins with https://youtube.com/@YoutubeChannel. AND assuming that I do not have any other bookmarks of youtube.com AS WELL AS Brave does not show any “common urls” (in this hypothetical scenario), Brave doesn’t show the URL until I’m almost done typing “@YoutubeChannel” (example: @YoutubeChan)
Om Brave for Desktop. Brave shows all the bookmarks that begin or contain the text I’m typing. Even if it’s only 3 words. And the list is much only and I think it also sorts by last accessed. But on Android, it’s terrible. I would type in keywords that should point to bookmarks I’ve stored, but Brave wouldn’t show a single thing. Because of how terrible Brave’s bookmarking system is, I forget normally where I put certain bookmarks, so I’d try to find them by remembering keywords I put in there for this said purpose. But Brave refuses to show the bookmarks in its suggestions. I would normally make 2 and 3 and 4 bookmarks of the SAME URL thinking that I was just misremembering something, and maybe I didn’t make a bookmark of the URL I tried to find.
So when I do find that URL, I instinctively save it, with the keywords. Then later ON, I tried looking for the bookmark I had newly stored, and Brave shows up the 2 OLDER bookmarks (of the same URL) that I couldn’t find! This is an actual thing that happened to me, and it made me angry. So please Brave. Fix your Bookmarks, History, and Search Suggestions PLEASE.
