Web search is broken using Microsoft Powertoys Run #243

Closed sambot closed 1 year ago

sambot commented 1 year ago

Web searches in Microsoft Powertoys Run opens the correct default browser (Brave, in my case) but will not run the web search properly (Google, for me).

For example, if I do a web search using Powertoys Run for the query "donut recipe," Brave will open and a new tab will load with the following in the URL bar (which doesn't work):

https://--single-argument%20/?%20donut%20recipe

If I do the same search from the search box in the Windows 11 taskbar, Brave will open and a new tab will load with correct Google search URL and query string:

https://www.google.com/search?q=donut%20recipe

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks!

P.S. I was able to use this Chrome extension as a temporary workaround: Redirector

What version is:

Powertoys: MSEdgeRedirect:

I've tested both 0.61 and 0.66 and both versions of powertoys open Google properly.
