Stop bookmarklets showing up in address bar (omnibox) when searching for Javascript results

Question

If I use the keyword Javascript in the address bar in chrome (starting in Chrome 37) all of my bookmarklets show up in the autocomplete address bar until I get past the word javascript

E.g. typing javascript sort brings up all my bookmarklets in the autocomplete portion of the address bar).

It's not a huge deal but it is a bit of a pain. Is there any way I can stop this other than removing the bookmarklets?

Answer 1

It is not possible. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=91378

There is an extension called Fauxbar, but you might not want it.

Your problem is probably the same as this known issue :
Issue 416148: Omnibox Displays Javascript Bookmarklet Suggestions.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a bookmarklet
2. Type "javascript" into the omnibox
3. See that the omnibox is filled out with the entire bookmarklet script

What is the expected behavior?
Do not include bookmarklets (anything that starts with the javascript: protocol) since a user would not manually type that out as an option

What went wrong?
Typing "ja" shows expected results based on previous searches and visited pages. Typing an additional "v" fills up the entire omnibox with a bookmarklet script, making it difficult to see what has already been typed.

This is marked as fixed and verified on November 3, 2014, on Windows 7,40.0.2209.0 (Official Build) canary. The fix itself is mentioned here as committed.

So it seems like you only need to wait for the next update of Chrome.

You can use a Chrome extension called Secure Bookmarks which stores your bookmarks separately and requires a password to access them. You can store all your bookmarklets in this extension as these bookmarks will not appear in your Chrome's omnibox while searching.
