Hi again I appreciate the reply. Just a quick thought. In Chrome, do ctrl +f...right above the search box is plenty of empty space. At least for me. I have alot of bookmarks but only one on the task bar. Perhaps that single checkbox (thats all it needs is one), could be above the search box. Instead of below it...
Its really not bloating it IMO. I filed a report... But to prove my point, this is what I was talking about: http://www.lewrockwell.com/chris/banks/banks2.html MA is the abbreviation for the state of Massachusetts. CTRL + F for 'MA'. 981 results. When searching specifically for one thing, this is really unacceptable....i can show other examples where I need it. Im not trying to complicate the search feature, but adding one little detail to make it easier...I dont see why it makes it too complicated.
