    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!

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.

    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!
