@leonardoemilian good, but I don't move. "The grass isn't green...". This can be fixed. Patience.

Hi,
I get the message (see title), but what exactly the problem is, seems not clear. I am logged in, I am logged out and in, but Opera isn't happy about it. How to debug "a problem"? Any specific domains or routing the sync is trying, since I am behind some FWs, DNS, Spam filters, etc.

@leocg Not set in Win 11 IP4 or 6. Double checked DNS IPs across tools, it seems to be working correctly now (DoH in Opera off = no Google DNS). Will monitor and check on other machines, too.

@leocg correct, Win 11 supports this. However, if I turn it off in Opera, NextDNS is telling me "uses Google DNS". So either, the turn-off is not turning it off (bug) or somewhere else the thing is "on". I can instantly switch between e.g. Cloudflare or Google DNS, and the correct selection is active. However, DoH turned off, then Google DNS is apparently used. This is also the case with latest Chrome: If DoH turned off, Google DNS remains active.

Hi,
If I turn off DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS), could it be that it's falling back to 8.8.8.8 Google DNS?
In other words: Off isn't off.
I'm currently debugging my machine, somewhere the 8.8.8.8 slipped in.

The goal is DoH but outside of Opera.

Thanks

@burnout426 said in Search bar empty content:

@operasurfer1094952 Do you have the flag at the URL opera://flags/#address-bar-dropdown-categories disabled?

Affirmative, it is disabled.

Hi, note, the trick suggested by @AtomicBullz does not work any longer for my Opera client. The problem persists, cycling through Light-Dark does not improve the situation.

The problem persists, in fact, it's getting worse: The trick "cycling through Light-Dark" doesn't work any longer for unknown reasons.

@operasurfer1094952 not working any longer. Have to do it every time Opera is started, cycling through Light Dark System. How strange can software get?

@operasurfer1094952 FYI I'm returning my answer: The problem does not disappear, but rather, it needs to be done every time Opera is started or so.

All: See the comment by @AtomicBullz in https://forums.opera.com/topic/57782/search-bar-empty-content?_=1664787933616

Short: Play with Theme Light/Dark/System and see if it goes away (it did for me)

@atomicbullz that did it! Thanks -- Opear still should investigate

@donq no running away. Opera needs to fix it and the category thingy needs to become user-friendly.

Update to 91.0.4516.20, problem still persists. No such thing in Chrome.

Hi,
I don't even have a clou how to call this issue or where to start to debug it. Let's try prosa: Seach terms are not showing up, text is blank or empty. Anyone else knows this or faces it, too?

It started recently. I'm using latest Opera version (91.0.4516.16), Windows 11 64-bit machine, everything up to date.

Regards

@moneybun nice, very nice! I still have my bookmarks showing, but the categories disappeared. It definitely reduces the content, which was showing before. It does load a list of random guesses or so, say you enter 'test', what is showing? It lists a website, which is not bookmarked, but which I may have visited in the past (can't remember). Sometimes, a bookmark is showing with a (X) on the side, sometimes not.

Definitely agree with @bearcatjamboree , please implement it or unlock it if available. Manual cache clean (maybe does it), but we want this say on regular start/stop basis, per sessions of use. If other browsers like Chrome and Edge can, Opera should too. Does Opera run a Jira or Git somewhere?

@scholle1309 no, we're in 88.xxx version right now. The chase of the feature is still on it seems!

@liazelle click the 'settings wheel' on the right side of the address bar and disable this weird feature. The "problem" is themed "disable suggestions before typing". I just solved it the usual way how you solve things in IT these days: give up solving it, come back 2-3 weeks later, and solve it.

@liazelle since when is this? I'm running latest Opera, then out of a sudden, if I click inside the address bar, I get exactly four searches from history. Your case might be different, as there are many quirks around address bar and search. Regards
