New Feature: Show suggestions from history, favorites and other data in omnibox (Address Bar)

Microsoft Edge Version 83.0.471.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

 

Show me suggestions from history, favorites and other data on this device using my typed characters

 

 

edge://settings/search

 

 

 

To get that, first you need to enable this flag: edge://flags/

Enable local providers toggle

Enables toggle to control whether history and favorites suggestions are shown in the omnibox – Mac, Windows

#edge-local-providers-toggle

 

 

  • HotCakeX I have been using this feature for almost 8 weeks? It was available as a flag, so finally they made it as an new option! Great!

      Nope, I have the history of all the flags of previous Edge versions saved and this particular flag was only added in Version 83.0.471.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

        HotCakeX Nope, as I said I have been using it for over 8 weeks - check Omnibox flags

    Hi,
    Kinda unrelated here, but do you know how do we hide the search bar? It is been marked as addressed in this week's Top Feedback...

      I couldn't find it either that's why I asked, it's not even a controlled feature rollout at the moment

      HotCakeX Whom do I send a fruit basket for this feature? People have been asking google for this since about 2008, and have been ignored ever since because the chrome team apparently knows better https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=91378


      Hi,

       

      the primary way Edge developers receive suggestions/problems/feedbacks is through the feedback button on Edge browser, shortcuts: (Alt + Shift + i)

       

      if you can't use it for some reason, you can use this: (Support for individuals)
