Of course it works as it did all the years.
Remember, some years ago when Opera stopped and cancelled the old bookmarks system in the old menu (ALT-B) all the old Opera users were complaining and whining, that they could not be fast and call bookmarks by keyboard anymore. This opening of speed dial folders, looking for the correct speed dial and clicking again would be much too slow. Until they learned that they simply could type some characters of any speed dial and Opera would find and offer the page for opening. This is a very very fast and professional way of opening stored pages.
As I wrote before I personally don't need bookmarks. I just use them as a copy (backup) of my speed dials. With speed dials and/or bookmarks I am very fast with finding my stored pages. Adding some global keywords to the description line ("name") of the speed dials (like "music" or "office") makes it easier to find them in case I don't remember the exact phrase.
Saving and retrieving individual pages in a fast, keyboard-based manner (so that you don't have to search slowly with your eyes and aim with the mouse) is an essential part of a modern browsers and worked all the years through all versions. For the last two developer versions this function has stopped now. I hope you can repair this. -

I never paid attention to whether there is a maximum number of results. Maybe I don't have so many entries with similar names.
Opera usually offers me my personal speed dial results first and then the possibility to search in my standard search engine. I think I have also switched this prediction service off anywhere. Not in the flags, but somewhere in the settings.
I don't use the magnifying icon, I do as much as possible by keyboard. I hate this clicking around like a baby. With the mouse I can use one arm and one finger and I must always look to the screen and aim precisely as in shooting training. With my keyboard I can use ten fingers.
If Opera finds a suitable entry in the speed dials it shows me the stored icon of that page. I only see the heart icon after pressing enter and the page is opened.
All this until v70.0.3693.0.
In the new updates 70.0.3707.0 and 70.0.3714.0 nothing happens except the page is already open or in the history. -
l33t4opera last edited by l33t4opera@ralf-brinkmann Now I see what you mean. Yes, I can confirm it doesn't work for SD items when you type in the address bar. It also doesn't work in the latest beta, but still works in the stable.
I know it's not the same, but until it's fixed, you can still use the search box in the Bookmarks Manager, which is working also for SD items.

Hi @avl, Perhaps this issue has something to do with the below change?
"DNA-86453 The limit of visible tabs in Search in Tabs must be disabled". -

@l33t4opera said in Opera 70.0.3714.0 developer update:
still works in the stable.
Only for some tiles here (Portable 68). I don't use 68 as my main browser so there are only some default tiles and the blog related.
When I type 'book' it works and shows me speed dial icon next to the result. But if I type 'eba' or 'oper', it shows nothing, no speed dial or bookmarks 'heart' icons (I have some bookmarks containing 'Opera' in their names too )

@olesiak I responded few time already that I can reproduce it easily on 1366x768 laptop (in O69 and in O70). https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2020/05/opera-69-0-3679-0-developer-update/#comment-209470
Read responses, @burnout426 could reproduce it also on Win10 (by unmaximizing window) and @johnd78 on win7.
My demo:
*Regarding the similar bug related to the OMenu (that was discovered by @burnout426), I can reproduce it on 1920x1080 monitor too by moving window into lower position, not so critical bug but persists on all channels.
