[Bug] Web Search Breaking inconsistently (Firefox) #1118

Closed 1seco closed 3 weeks ago

1seco commented 3 weeks ago

I am using the search bar to open the browser (Firefox) to that search prompt using DuckDuckGo, if that is even relevant. Either the search happens correctly, opened with my search engine, or http://(search query) gets opened instead of https://(search engine)/query , Such as http://xbps for example. It is also really inconsistent, so I was having a hard time trying to reproduce it by closing the browser, tabs, different searches, using different buttons on the launcher. (Web search vs pure enter key) I couldn't find any. If this is not a kvaesitso issue but a Firefox issue, please inform me so I can write this issue to Mozilla. I'm also free to respond for the entire next week so you can take advantage of that.

I'm not really sure if this happens on other web browsers as: I don't use others, and again this issue is way too inconsistent to get it when I am ready to post here

If you need my phone info: A54 5G Model SM-A546E/DS, Android 14, OneUI 6.1.

What kind of action are you using? Web search? In-App search?

1seco commented 3 weeks ago

Hi, I'm using web search, and I explicitly tap on that button above the search bar. Here is a image example I got just a while back fortunately:

And to prove inconsistency, it's working again, just a minute after:

I tried changing to chrome for a bit(by setting as default in system settings), but kvaesitso still opened Firefox and I don't want to go through the process of uninstalling and checking right now. My time zone isn't very friendly.

Try to add a DuckDuckGo web search action:

1seco commented 3 weeks ago

I did that, seems to work, the search is always prepended with duckduckgo.com/?q. I'll close this issue in a bit. Thanks a lot and have a great day.

1seco commented 3 weeks ago

Yep, seems to work fine. Instead of seeing purely my search query in the Firefox search bar, then hopefully DuckDuckGo taking over, it always prepends with DuckDuckGo with either enter or tapping the DuckDuckGo quick action.
