I just got the update 137. I think there is some misunderstanding here. Lets say I open a new empty tab. Then I type in the address bar "mario" and do a search with default engine. Now the search term will be replaced with the website or search engines site address. I can change the search engine, but only before doing a search.
On the other hand, if have a separate search bar and type the word "mario", it will stay there, even after committing and opening the new pages.
Weird, and this is with the separate search bar disabled? If I type
mario, then press Enter, then DuckDuckGo opens with the search, and my address bar still saysmario, and I can still change the search engine.You might want to look for this option under "Search" in the settings:
I don't have that option. Maybe I misunderstand here something. I am on Linux, maybe it does not work here?
I'm on Linux as well, so that's probably not it. But I just checked the release notes, and it does say:
So hopefully you'll get it soon!
