Hey @Droyk thanks for giving us a shout out!

indeed this is something I sometimes get annoyed by as well :)

If we can expand the results in the drop down, we have to investigate.

But in our next feature release will contain a web view for the results, where you can see all the possible results and can filter them better. For example with a date selector.

Our issue for that is here: https://github.com/WorldBrain/Research-Engine/issues/24

You can follow our sprint report videos, where such releases are announced: patreon.com/WorldBrain/posts

Okay will you be able to tell me how this web interface will work? will it work through address bar or user have to go extension setting page to search the word on it.

We would have 3 possible modi to enter:

  1. the first result in the address bar would show "See all results" and links to the web-view.
  2. open a new tab and get the web view
  3. get the results alongside google search results and click on "See all results"

Well I like 1st and 3rd option and there is one more mode to enter use the extension icon when a user click on extension it gives them webview panel.

and I think users should choose what good for them, you should add a choice in preferences page to choose b/w option 1 to 3rd to enter in web view.
