Goal
When testing our first dub browser with users, the first thing users attempted to do was search for their go-to websites. However, the search bar we had initially only loaded url links that were properly formatted with https:// and domain extension. So this week, I implemented a search bar that lets users search urls of any format, or google search.
Result
This MVP Search Bar implementation uses a list of popular domains for suggestions. If a domain isn’t on the list, users can still type the url, and if the what they entered isn’t a valid url, it will do a Google search.
Looking Forward
In the future, we will implement smarter search algorithms to help users navigate not only to websites but also their wallets.
