Hi,
just to make sure, do You mean the setting:
Setting: Preferences: [Search]
?
With this option enabled, the completition of search suggestions works form me with the default settings (I checked the Google search).

(Otter RC12, webkit, Win 7).

vbr

tools/preferences/search/enable search suggestion

i tried with google search but, it do not work...

next i tried to do another google search engine by clicking Right on the input search and in creat new search in the contestual menul...
otter openned a window with all options for this search engine...
- Result Query is full of adress and data
- Suggestion Query is empty....
      Or this this one i'm looking for... and it's the same for all my other search engines, nothing in these input field ...

well, VBR if you pass here...

could it be possible from you to put in the forum
 the google auto-completion server adress, present in the query field of the google search engine,

because after many search... impossible to catch these specific adress...

thank a lot

@Quetzal: if for some reason it has been changed in your local settings you can always find it on GitHub: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser/082bc92f76ef9ce7b98db55230b8421c5355c46b/resources/searchEngines/google.xml
Normally you'd find this in Preferences > Search tab > Google > Edit... > Suggestions Query tab.

Is that what you're looking for?

Here it works fine both in the Search Field near the address bar as well as in the Search Field in the Start Page.
