Thank you, ToMMeR, stesch79 and paf_skov for your feedback. I can appreciate those circumstances and your request.
We will look into adding a policy to make single-word queries navigate and I'll follow up on this thread with an update as soon as I have one.
Thanks again for giving us this important feedback and for describing your specific scenarios! It helps!Jared
Hi everyone,
Just a brief update that the search fallback behavior is now on by default (no command-line flag needed) if this policy is enabled in the Beta channel as Beta has reached version 81.
If you plan to deploy the Stable channel of Edge throughout your organization, this policy will include the search fallback behavior without any command-line flags necessary to enable it, when the Stable channel reaches version 81.
Please test this out in Beta and let us know if anything is not working as expected.
Thank you!
Jared
Is this GPO broken in Dev V84?
JaredB81 With Dev 84.0.495.2 one-word-intranet has come back. Thanks folks.
ThiloLangbein, thanks for the clarification. The policy did get into the template files but a change from Chromium upstream broke the implementation of the policy if configured.
The fix has been in Edge Canary for a few days and the latest Dev build has the fix as well. Please test with the latest Dev build and let us know if you encounter any issues.Thank you and again, I apologize for the inconvenience this caused!
JaredB81 Thanks. Policy sems to be inplace and is shown under edge://policy but it doesn't work in Dev84.
Thank you for the head's up, ThiloLangbein. First, I hope you and everyone else in this community is safe and well.
The policy seems to have been omitted from the latest published ADMX and ADML files. I'll look into why that took place and work to get the policy back ASAP.
I apologize for this inconvenience and I'll update this thread when I have an ETA for the policy's return to the administrative templates.
