Chrome Omnibox Suggestions: Increase the Popup Count

Enhancing Google Chrome's Omnibox Suggestions

Google's Chrome web browser, renowned for its speed and streamlined design, features an integrated search bar called the Omnibox. Initially, the Omnibox displays a limited number of suggestions.

Adjusting the Number of Suggestions

By default, Chrome presents only five suggestions when you begin typing in the Omnibox. However, this number can be readily increased through a command-line switch.

Consider the standard view: upon initiating a search within the Omnibox, five suggestions typically appear. It is possible to expand this to ten, or even a greater quantity, as desired.

Implementing the Command-Line Switch

To modify the suggestion count, a command-line switch must be added to the Chrome shortcut. Begin by accessing the properties of your Google Chrome icon.

Subsequently, append the following switch to the end of the "Target" line, ensuring a space separates it from the existing path:

-omnibox-popup-count=10

Verifying the Change

Launching Chrome using this modified shortcut will now display an increased number of suggestions within the Omnibox list. The value '10' can be replaced with any desired number.
