Bug ID: 502907
Summary: Changing default search engine in Discover from
Duckduckgo which fails in Indonesia
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: 6.1.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The default search for Discover is Duckduckgo, which is banned in Indonesia,
making it a hassle to search for software that is not in Snap. It would be good
to be able to change the default search engine, however according to my post in
the Newbie section on Kubuntu,
https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/newbie-support/help-the-new-guy/686137-discover-s-default-search-engine-is-duckduckgo-which-is-banned-in-indonesia-how-can-i-change-it-to-something-else,
it is hard-coded.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover, search for software not in the Snap store.
2. Click on 'Search the web for [software name not in store, such as Cronopete'
3. Duckduckgo is banned in Indonesia so the search fails.
One should be able to choose from a list of search engines.
OBSERVED RESULT
Search Fails
EXPECTED RESULT
Search succeeds
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kubuntu 24.10
