Breaks search engines that use POST #13

Open Gitoffthelawn opened 8 years ago

Gitoffthelawn commented 8 years ago

Second Search breaks search engines that have been added as a Firefox search provider and use POST to transmit their data.

For example

  1. Install Second Search.
  2. Install any of the POST-based search engines from here.
  3. Set it as your default search engine in Firefox.
  4. Perform a search from the search bar (not using Second Search) using that engine.

Expected result: Search using POST-based engines will work.

Actual results: Search terms are ignored.

Confirmed. Hmm, why this happens...

Gitoffthelawn commented 8 years ago

Thanks for confirming so fast!

It took me a while to determine that Second Search was causing the problem.

OK, I've found the point of this bug. The commit 1a6788e817846939472889bcb28dc7add455366d fixes this bug for me.
