Anyone notice that you need cookies turned on to get Google search to
work properly? Meaning that: enter a search into the search box, click
the search button & where search info normally is, is blank/white.
Followup and correction to my earlier post:
All of the following assumes that Google cookies are rejected.
1) If I type a search string into the location bar and click "Search"
(Google is my default search engine), the initial search works, but the
URL of the hit page begins with https. If I click 2, 3, 4... to see more
hits, the page goes pale and stops responding.
2) If I go directly to google.com and enter a search string in their
window, the search works, and the hit page begins with http. I can do
more searches or view additional hits from the original search without
difficulty.
I poked around in about:config and discovered that the specification for
Google searches is located (on my Win7 Pro SP1 system) at
C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey\searchplugins\google.xml. On examining
that file, I learned that the search plugin calls Google thus:
<Url template="https://www.google.com/search"; method="GET" type="text/html">
Presumably someone more expert than me can tell you how to modify this
string (if that's feasible) so as to call the http version of Google. It
can't be done with SM open, as the file is locked (in use), and I don't
want to abort a download in progress right now.
