GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 157414
make finding domains with subdomains easier (dealing with "www." prefixes at same time)
Last modified: 2015-09-30 00:20:51 UTC
I was looking through the "Sites" pane of the History window for an article I read last week which was somewhere on "about.com", and I couldn't find it. This was because the article was on "golf.about.com" so it was under "g" rather than where I was looking for it which was under "a" and "www.a". Three different ways of dealing with this that I can think of are: - Add extra top domain entries for each subdomain, so that the top domain "about.com" was an alias for all URLs in all of its subdomains ("*.about.com") including "www.about.com". - Internet Explorer makes all top domains expandable root nodes, so you can expand "about.com" and get "www.about.com" and "golf.about.com". - The easiest way might be to just drop all subdomains including "www." and only use the top part of the domain (although that might confuse someone if they go looking for "golf.about.com" and it's under "about.com").
I confirm that it has confused me many times. Having to look about.com AND www.about.com each time your are searching for something is annoying.
Somewhat fixed by the search/find in the History panel?
Yup. Thanks for helping with the bug triage!
