Going through tickets now, this is a big thing we're missing lol. The ticket:

"The default search site for chinese win 10 system is cn.bing.com, it does not redirect to google. I guess it only redirects www.bing.com. Can fix this? Thx."

I think this is essentially requires us to translate Bing subdomains into Google top-level domains. Correct? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_domains http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/ff808526.aspx Ex: www.cn.bing.com to www.google.cn If a match is not found, default to www?

I mean we could do that but it would be a pain. Or we can just use the custom url feature that is in the woks along with a regex tweak.

yahoo looks like: https://everything.yahoo.com/world/ duckduckgo seems to just have a user setting and we shouldn't have to worry about it: https://duckduckgo.com/settings

Another thing I've been considering - should we have Chrometana default to Chrome's search engine, and then separate custom search engines entirely as an "advanced" feature? It would get us out of all of these problems and arguably offer a better user experience

ClairePitman commented 9 years ago

I like that idea but is it even possible?

t3dotgg commented 9 years ago

Very easily, I'm sure there's either a way to grab the user's current search engine, or an API to perform a search through Chrome's default method

ClairePitman commented 9 years ago

That honestly seems to be the logical option. It leaves the settings page in a bit of a weird spot but....

We fixed this awhile ago. If I'm incorrect, feel free to re-open
