| Re: Some search keywords stopped working | jdkram | 7/1/11 2:55 AM | Same issue present on Windows 7 14.0.803.0 keyword 'a' for amazon, works after scrolling down to keyword & pressing tab but no longer with entering 'a' and simply pressing space to then enter search term. |
| Re: Some search keywords stopped working | Jo Liss | 7/4/11 2:56 AM | jdkram is right on the mark. If I delete the autocompletion with backspace and then press tab, it recognizes the keyword, but not if I just press spacebar. For me as well this is only happening with a few keywords, not all of them. Chrome 13.0.782. |
| Re: Some search keywords stopped working | Jo Liss | 7/8/11 11:26 AM | ... and it has come back, after using Chrome for a while, and restarting it again doesn't help. I wish I knew what was going on there. If anybody finds a workaround, please share it! |
| Re: Some search keywords stopped working | CaptainValor | 7/12/11 8:13 AM | I too am getting this issue (Chrome for Mac build 12.0.742.112, OS X 10.6.8). When I type the keyword and press spacebar it doesn't work, but when I backspace and then press Tab it does. Again this is only for some keywords. Very frustrating! |

| Re: Some search keywords stopped working | Mark Dominus | 9/9/11 11:44 AM | Same problem 13.0.782.220. Since the most recent update, my "w" keyword for Wikipedia stopped working as described above: "w foo" would produce a menu for which the default was to search Google for "w foo"; the second item was the one I wanted, which |
| Re: Some search keywords stopped working | Estesark | 9/10/11 7:32 AM | My "i" keyword for Google Images stopped working, but all others seem to be fine. |
| Re: Some search keywords stopped working | hags2k | 9/28/11 7:22 AM | I had this same problem on Windows (haven't had it crop up on my mac, thankfully). I was able to solve it by doing the following: Cleared all browsing history, cookies, etc. Fully un-installed chrome. Reinstalled chrome. Reentered my search engines. |
| Re: Some search keywords stopped working | littledman | 1/2/12 12:20 AM | Potential fix (worked for me): 1) When you type [keyword][space] ("wiki ") Chrome should normally give you the "Search in [x]" option. Instead it gives an option from history, e.g. "wiki deadbeat escapement". Typing further reverts to default search. |

Win 7, Chrome 17.0.963.46 The only thing I could find in common with the searches that weren't working was that when I looked in chrome://settings/searchEngines there was more than one insta |
