I'm pretty sure that Google not being suggested is because of the case- sensitivity bug. (See http://groups.google.com/group/ubiquity-firefox/browse_thread/thread/489b382eb420a265 ) We have a fix for this bug already, and it will be included in the final version of 0.5 to be released this week, so "g" or "go" will once again complete to "google".
Timur, your suggestion about Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P is very interesting. You must be an Emacs user, right? I am to, and I often find myself trying to use ctrl-N and ctrl-P in other applications... I think we could consider adding those as an equivalent to the up-arrow /down- arrow keys; it would be a benefit for Emacs users and it wouldn't hurt anybody else. But back to the main question: there are definitely a few questionable rankings making it in to the suggestion list with the new parser. We may have to tweak some of the weights of the various factors that go into sorting the suggestion list. We should start a conversation about that over on [email protected]. --Jono On Jun 28, 9:54 am, palousegeo <[email protected]> wrote: > I've found the same situation on WinXP.
