Comment #5 on issue 23282 by jamesp: Can't import Fx bookmark keywords with %s in non-query-params section http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23282
glad at least you recognize the inability to import them is a bug. its your service, so if you wanna hide some Keyworded URL Functionality under a 'Manage' button in the 'Default Search' section of 'Options,' thats your choice, but understand that it is hiding it. keyworded url functionality has nothing to do with setting your default search engine. period. if the suggestion to mimic firefox doesnt appeal to you, then maybe this will: both 'bookmarks' and 'default search' sections arent really the best place for keywords, and thus i suggest you break off from the firefox setup and create a new area in chrome options for keywords altogether. since the bookmarks section is probably where you will continue to store these url settings i would argue its best to include any new keyword 'area' in the bookmark management section, but if not thats fine too. oh, and creating a new section might also have the effect of highlighting its existence to people who do look around at their options, and maybe increase its userbase, not that it matters. [you still havent explained _why_ you dont allow creating them in bookmarks -- especially when firefox does -- unless your explanation is that the low fraction of users of something is a determinant to whether it is 'working as intended.'] either way, as i said, thanks for helping me figure out where i can use them, since this was the last major obstacle to converting full time to chrome. now if only i didnt have to clear my cache (practically) once daily to keep my youtube music favorites list streaming in the background while i work (-; -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
