Background

The command bar could hide the exact search action when other suggestions filled the visible five-row list. Empty or whitespace-only input could also keep stale suggestions visible.

Changes

  • Reserve one exact-input Search action for every non-blank query, even when history, tab, bookmark, or URL matches rank higher.
  • Keep Ask AI in the second row when it is eligible while still preserving the reserved Search action.
  • Treat empty and whitespace-only input as a blank state with no visible suggestions.
  • Route reserved search actions through the default search provider, with a Google fallback.
  • Update desktop feature docs and checklist with the new command bar behavior.

Testing

Patch adds browser tests for reserved exact search actions, duplicate prevention, URL-like input, Ask AI row ordering, default search provider navigation, and empty or whitespace-only input suggestion clearing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Command Bar suggestions now reserve a Search option for every non-blank query, even when other results rank higher.
    • URL-like searches and exact-input searches are handled more consistently.
    • Ask AI suggestions appear in the correct position without displacing the reserved Search option.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Blank or whitespace-only input now clears suggestions and prevents unintended navigation.
    • Selecting and submitting filtered suggestions now uses the visible results reliably.
    • Improved handling of duplicate search suggestions and stale autocomplete results.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Command Bar now ignores blank input, filters visible suggestions, reserves an exact Search action for non-blank queries, preserves Ask AI ordering, and uses filtered matches for selection and navigation. Browser tests and feature documentation cover the updated behavior.

Changes

Command Bar suggestion behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalize and clear command-bar input
src/dao/browser/ui/views/dao_command_bar_view.h, src/dao/browser/ui/views/dao_command_bar_view.cc
The view trims query whitespace and clears autocomplete state for empty, whitespace-only, hidden, and new-tab states.
Build the visible suggestion list
src/dao/browser/ui/views/dao_command_bar_view.h, src/dao/browser/ui/views/dao_command_bar_view.cc
The view filters autocomplete matches, reserves an Ask AI row, and ensures each non-blank query has an exact Search action within the visible limit.
Use visible matches for selection and navigation
src/dao/browser/ui/views/dao_command_bar_view.cc, src/dao/browser/ui/views/dao_browser_browsertest.cc, docs/feature-checklist.md, docs/features.md
Selection, icons, and navigation use filtered matches. Browser tests and feature documentation cover blank input, URL-like queries, exact searches, Ask AI ordering, and submission behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 137c0

The command bar may still send Enter through a non-default search match instead of the reserved default search action, which can navigate users through the wrong provider; this correctness issue should be fixed before merge.

阻止非默认搜索匹配成为自动选择的 Search 操作

增强建议模式会自动选择索引 0,并将该匹配直接传给 NavigateToMatch()。即使 IsExactSearchMatch() 比较 GetSearchUrl(search_terms),排在首位的非默认搜索匹配仍会被 Enter 选中。

仅当 URL 匹配默认搜索提供商时,才将匹配视为精确 Search。将合成的默认 Search 放入自动选择位置,并将非默认搜索匹配保留为非默认操作。添加浏览器测试,验证首位非默认搜索匹配不会改变 Enter 的默认提供商导航。
