Search in Web Browser History is not available on phones

[Kugi Eusebio]

I've seen this a long time ago but held back to file a bug because I thought it's something easy to see and most probably will be fixed soon but no I was wrong. Until now searching in the web browser history is not possible on phones. It is only available on tablets.

Device:
bq Aquaris E5 HD
OTA 9

This requires input from design, as the current specification doesn’t have search in history in the narrow layout.

This to me is completely inconsistent with the overall UI experience that allows search in all other apps and scopes in portrait. There is also plenty of room in landscape.

Any news on this? It's still not in OTA 12.
I don't think this needs design decision because it's a matter of enabling the search action in portrait or any windows size and there's plenty of space in the header. Many apps has search function. I really don't get this. Sorry :)

It does require some input from design. Implementing something that works is the easy part, making sure it’s consistent and good UX and UI usually is trickier (and the reason why app design is not left to developers).

That said, I agree with you that it’s important, I’ll poke the design team again to get some feedback.
