Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-10-31 19:14:17 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

location edit box: suggestion drop down list does not show for protocol (http, https)

I visited a lot of sites, like 
https://bugs.kde.org/

when I start typing
bu|
I get above address, but not if I start typing full URL
http|
I get nothing.
Comment 1 Michael Leupold 2008-10-31 19:19:07 UTC
Just for clarification:
You are suggesting that the dropdown starts appearing without typing the :, so if you type "http" you want all URLs starting with www.http, http or http://, right?

I'm not sure this is to be considered a bug. I guess the way it works right now is the intended behaviour.
Comment 2 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-10-31 19:39:15 UTC
Yes. However in this only case my wish would be those at least which start literally with http.

Otherwise it is really odd, when you have 
http;//www.google.pl
and you have to type entire addres again (from http)
and nothing appears as suggestion. Thus I think it is a bug.

Splitting URLs into parts and then matching any piece is another story, and it was reported already.
Comment 3 Dawit Alemayehu 2011-06-28 15:13:15 UTC
Actually that is not a bug but rather an intentional feature to avoid listing way too many potential matches. As such Konqueror's completion does not do substring matching like other browsers by default. If you want substring matching when you type http, press F7 afterwards and you get the listings you desire. Otherwise, instead of starting with the protocol, type the hostname of the desired site instead. This is by design and not really a bug. Whether that should be changed so that substring completions are the default is another issue altogether.
