I’m still seeing the old link, not the new 3.4 link.

Thank you. I’ve deleted the bottom URL.

Really really enjoying the search improvements!

Will it be possible to delete bookmarks?

Also, some initial feedback… it would be helpful if there was a bit more clarity on what page was currently selected in the search page. Maybe only underline the page that the user is currently viewing :man_shrugging:… that being said, great beta so far!

all feedback much appreciated.

it remains the product road map as an important feature to deliver.

Could you take a screenshot of the top part of your System Preferences > General so we can see your settings? i.e., light or dark mode? accent color? highlight color.

thank you!

Hi @LucB – from the search window, is there any reason why you need to hit “tab” to switch to your search results? I’m just kind of used to Alfred where you can just begin navigating your search results by hitting the down arrow… Why can’t this be the same in Hook?

me too. we ran into a snag with that. It will get fixed; possibly as part of a bigger change where the search window will stand alone with pinned, recent , etc.
