This is an edge case that happens when search engine suggestions are turned off, so the 'suggestions' displayed are hits from the user's search history. STR Type a search text that is not in the search history The search text appears * in the search box * as the only suggestion * in the "search for x with" text Expected behaviour: Arguably, three times is a bit much and the "suggestions" top part of the search panel should simply go away when there are no suggestions.

Philipp, I know this was by design, but I also remember you saying "for now". Do you intend to redesign this part of the search panel at some point?

Yes, »for now« is still the current state. The UI is still very much in flux and I'd like to defer changing this to a point when it is more stable.

Treatment for provider tiles when suggestions are turned off. 2 options pending UI review.

There are 2 different cases: - the search suggestions have been disabled by the user - the current default search engine doesn't support offering suggestions I'm not sure if this second case should have a separate UX bug or be handled here, but on the engineering side it likely makes sense to handle the 2 cases at once.

updating the attachment to reflect copy for that use case.

please review this not the earlier attachment

Providers should be sorted by frequency of use to make interaction faster

sorry ignore comment above - meant for other bug.

(In reply to Florian Quèze [:florian] [:flo] from comment #4) > There are 2 different cases: > - the search suggestions have been disabled by the user If the user has decided to turn off search suggestions, it's probably not desired to prompt her to turn them on again every time she searches.

Updated to remove ability to turn on suggestions inline given they are on by default and it is an explicit action by the user to turn them off.

Comment on attachment 8568104 [details] no suggestions v2.png I think that works. So the only change to the status quo is to get rid of the lone suggestion that exactly matches the search string, right?
