--- Comment #3 from Jens Radloff <s...@mailbox.org> --- (In reply to Jens Radloff from comment #1) > These values for the parameters for a Startpage search engine entry work, i. > e. searches with Startpage through the search bar execute successful > searches by Startpage.com: > > Name: StartPage > URL: https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=%s > Post data: > Shortcut: sp Having created a completely new git clone of the Falkon source code in another local directory some days ago, then having compiled and installed this clone, I can confirm that the search URL "https://startpage.com/do/search"; in the preferences for the Startpage search engine in the Preferences dialog > Other > Manage search engines/Search Engines Manager > Edit button > "Url" field is the search URL that is predefined in the Falkon source code. This predefined search URL results in non-working searches if StartPage is used for searching via the Search Bar. Note that in the Search Engines Manager > Edit window for StartPage the field "Post Data" contains the string "query=%s&cat=web&language=english" as predefined by the current Falkon source code. Using this string in the "Post Data" field in connection with the search URL "https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=%s"; (which itself works, see above) in the "Url" field of the Startpage settings results in erroneous search results when Startpage is used by using the Search Bar for searching for any string. I typed "duck" into the Search Bar (before that I selected Startpage as the search engine to be used for the search by selecting its corresponding icon left to the Search Bar), pressed ENTER, then Startpage showed the results of this search, and it appears that at the top of this result page the string "%s" is shown in the Start Page search field at the top of the result page. Thus Startpage had applied a search for the string "%s". That means that the predefined string "https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=%s"; in the "Post Data" field in the settings for Startpage in the Search Engines Manager works improperly. But if you leave the "Post Data" field empty, then searches with Startpage via the Search Bar results in correct search result web pages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
