Hi,

if I start entering a URL (or typing parts of one) I get a dropdown list
of known URLs which contain what I've been typing.
They do not seem to be sorted after any recognizable criterion, though.

If you are reading periodically updated sites (news sites, blogs, online
comics, anything with an archive) regularly (or not very regularly),
you'll get a list of the archive pages you've already visited after typing
the name of the site, but it appears not to be sorted. It would be nice if
I could change that and have it sorted either by last-viewed date, page
title (which will probably contain the date) or URL (which will in these
cases be either enumerated or also contain the date). That way I can just
pick whichever URL is at the top of the list and arrive at the latest page
that I've already read and continue reading where I left off last time.

Also: The URL dropdown list by default displays the URL _and_ the page
title. If I don't have opera maximized this often means that the URL as
well as the Page title will be truncated, so in case of a web page which
has a page archive, I'll only see the the part of the URL and page title
that is common for all archive pages. The solution for me would be to have
Opera display only URL _or_ title, or to not truncate the entries but to
display the latter part instead of the beginning (which is equal for most
entries anyway).


... is there a way of doing (some of) this in Opera 9.64? Or can Opera 10
do it better? I looked through the opera:config setting but fopund nothing
that looked helpful.

Cheers,

Zak
