We have already introduced address field search suggestions powered by our partners Google (default), Bing, Яндекс (Yandex), and Wikipedia (English only). Now we want our own address field suggestions to meet the same high quality standards as the ones provided by our partners for your bookmarks and history entries.
In our old system; everything including bookmarks was matched against page URL, title, or page content and then ordered in one giant list sorted by last visited time.
The new system assigns a score to each suggestion based on more factors than just the last visited time. For example, we prioritize your bookmarks, the position in the URL where we find a match, and the number of times we get a match on the page.
We are not done yet, and will work on integrating Speed Dials and further improve the scoring system.
What do you think about the new results in the address field? Are we getting you to where you wanted to go?
If you already know exactly where you want to go and don’t care too much about the above improvements; then you will certainly appreciate that we’ve also worked on getting you on your way faster. (Nice segue, huh?) Start-up times and session handling should be snappier in this build. We’ve ironed out a bunch of smaller issues that we think will make a big difference.
PS: There are some other treasures in the change log as well.
