OmniWeb 5 - Powerful and feature-laden web browser
Authored by: philcozz on Sep 09, '04 10:56:41AM

One thing that I wish I could change:

Type-ahead feature in OW5; You need to know the very first letters/word of a link for the type-ahead feature to find it. In FireFox, Camino, & Safari (with Saft) you can type ANY part of a link and it will find it. An example of this being annoying was when I went to a website loaded with links and I tried to type-ahead to one I knew was on the page, but couldn't find it. The problem was I didn't know that the word "The" was at the start of the link.

I have become quite a fan of type-ahead, but this restriction of needing to type the first letters of links seems unnecessary at least considering how other browsers deal with the feature.

I know Omni has placed a "defaults list" at http://www.omnigroup.com/Documentation/OmniWeb/DefaultsList-5.0.html so that you can make modifications to the browser, but I can't seem to find one that addresses my issue.

Does anyone know of a way to change this behavior in OW5?

Thanks!
