not able to open search results in the browser. I have added -kb-accept-entry but nothing happens I am able to copy the URL by pressing control+y.

if you did not set ROFI_SEARCH_CMD env variable as described in readme, it will call xdg-open <url> with selected url. So investigate if xdg-open is setup to open urls on your system.

also if you press enther or other key you configured as -kb-accept-entry and nothing happens, that means -kb-accept-entry is configured incorrectly.. if its configured correctly then it should close the rofi application window. if rofi application windows closes after selecting entry but no url is opened in the browser, then look into the ROFI_SEARCH_CMD env variable as mentioned above.
