I like most of this, but if search term persistence makes it harder for me to tweak the URL (like on mobile), it's going to be really annoying. I'll suspend judgment until I've tried it, I guess.
-
In settings, the first checkbox under "Search" is "Show search terms in the address bar on results pages", so it should be relatively easy to disable if you really don't like it. I'm going to try to see if I can get used to it first though.
-
Great news, thanks! And likewise, I'll give it a chance. Ideally I'd be able to get to the URL from the omnibar with an extra click, to get the best of both worlds.
-
I'm not sure how you'd do it through clicking, but I can press Esc to close the suggestions, and then Esc again to get the original URL. So instead of my usual Ctrl+L -> Ctrl+C, it's now Ctrl+L -> Esc -> Esc -> Ctrl+C.

Hmm, what do you dislike about the behaviour on mobile? Like, do you actually need to edit the URL of your search provider? Personally, haven't run into a situation where I needed that yet...
-
Yup - most typically to change TLD (e.g. from example.com to my own country, when I'm after local results) or as a quick way of copying the URL without unnecessary extra arguments to share elsewhere.

Ah, right, because of
google.comandgoogle.co.ukand such. The search engines I use, don't have the money for so many domain names, so it's just a UI selection. 🫠
With the address bar rework, you could register both of them as a search engine and then simply select the other one to change language/region.Copying the URL could be problematic, yeah. I don't have the update yet, so I wouldn't know, if it's something real simple like just right-clicking the address bar. If you really do need it, then it should still be possible to browse to the search engine's webpage directly and issue your query via the search box on the webpage.

@Vincent@feddit.nl was dead right in their comment here - you can escape out of the search by tapping Esc twice, at which point you're back to the URL. Panic over!
