Feedback on Focus

Hello again Mojeek!

First bit of feedback is a straight-up bug: once I’ve made a focus, if I try to delete it, the button to cancel works, but the button to confirm does nothing. I click “OK” repeatedly until I give up and cancel. So the only way I can delete a focus seems to be to wipe my cookies?

The second is, I think the focusses would probably be a bit more useful if you could add partial URLs rather than just domains.

E.g., if I search for Test and apply the Dictionaries focus, the top result is a list of challenging words to use in tests (or something) from Merriam-Webster. The third result is the actual definition of the word “test” from Merriam-Webster.

The top result has a URL of the format merriam-webster.com/games/… whereas the definition of Test is at merriam-webster.com/dictionary/test.

So, if the purpose of the Dictionaries focus is to return some actual definitions for your search term, I think it would be more powerful if you could add .merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ to the list of sites, rather than just .merriam-webster.com. It would just mean you can be more specific and selective.

Hey Jags, are you able to provide your device and browser for this? We’re unable to replicate it :pray:

Oh, unexpected - I’m on Nothing Phone using Chrome.

While we’re on possibly device- or browser-specific issues… in landscape the search bar is drawn over the logo and menu items:

Morning @Jags,

Thanks for letting us know - I’ve reproduced this locally so will get a fix pushed up for it.

All the best!
Ash
