Comment #6 on issue 23282 by [email protected]: Can't import Fx bookmark keywords with %s in non-query-params section http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23282
"keyworded url functionality has nothing to do with setting your default search engine." No, it doesn't. And managing search engines covers far more than just setting a default engine. That's why there's a management UI at all, not just a "pick a default" dropdown in the options. "i suggest you break off from the firefox setup" We did. That's precisely why we have a set of search engines with optional keywords, which covers this case far better than conflating them with bookmarks ever did. "since the bookmarks section is probably where you will continue to store these url settings" We have never stored search engines in the bookmarks storage system. "might also have the effect of highlighting its existence to people who do look around at their options" Non-goal, plus this fraction of users is extremely low. In fact, we would probably prefer that people not play around with or know about this stuff, as it tends to be pretty confusing. We do intend to add a context menu "Add a keyword for this search" option when right- clicking search fields in web content. "you still havent explained _why_ you dont allow creating them in bookmarks -- especially when firefox does" I explained as well as I was able. They aren't bookmarks.
