Vimium: Better numbering of Google Search results

[bennyty]

It'd be really nice if specifically on google search results the main links (the titles of each result) were highlighted in order. Thus you could type in a search and hit f\ to immediately select the first result.



A similar thing is already done for login forms where f numbering will select the login button first.



Thanks.

I don't think there is any special treatment of forms.

Nevertheless, there are a very small number of places where Vimium is customised to a particular (very important) site, and this certainly mees that criterion.

I think back to this issue every time I Google something (literally every hour). Where is the numbering done? I'd be happy to look into it (badly).

Here.

Generally, we do not have code customised to specific web sites. However, in the case of Google search results, I do think there is a case for an exception.

any updates on this?

I'd borderline be interested in seeing Google search results (and nothing else) auto-numbered, be it with 1, 2, 3, 4... or A, S, D, F..., without even having to press f. If you happen to want another link on that page, or to open in a new tab, by all means press f or F. But for Google (where I agree an exception could be made), being able to make a search and press 2 or S would be nice. It also means the page isn't cluttered with a million little anchors when the only ones that matter 99% of the time are the ones that click on one of the search result links.

Any updates? I think this feature would be very useful.
