Replaces Arc Search with Microsoft edge #1

Open Arcatis opened 2 months ago

After finishing the instructions on windows 10, using command prompt and not powershell, it only uses Microsoft Edge .

TheRedDeveloper commented 2 months ago

For me too no idea why. There is nothing in the PowerToys project that has changed, so it must be windows or something, because I can not explain why it doesn't work. The exe and everything is fine, it was working a few days ago.

I changed the README to reflect the issue and will have to look further into this if I have time.

Hi @TheRedDeveloper, have you made any headway on this fix? Hopefully a quick fix!

TheRedDeveloper commented 2 weeks ago

@alhardy23 I've given up. It doesn't call the default browser exe anymore.

Thanks for the awesome work!

I have a solution with the Web Search Shortcut plugin. It allows setting a BrowserPath as said in this issue. Now one can set it to the path of ArcRunner.exe. However, the plugin calls the executable with arguments --single-argument <url>. Adding a parsing logic in ArcRunner will finally fix this problem.
