Proxy Function

Open FlycanA opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

I am a loyal Chinese user, and I am affected by the GFW, which restricts access to Google. However, I have my own proxy that allows me to connect to Google. Therefore, I hope that Fluent Search can enhance its proxy functionality to support SOCKS5, HTTP, etc., and that it can be configured in the settings. I would appreciate it if you and your team could address this issue. Yours sincerely, Flycan

@FlycanA thanks for the feedback, I am not too familiar with your use case, so I have a few questions - Can you please explain more why you need specific change in Fluent Search to support your proxy usage? Is it not configurable globally in Windows?

FYI in case of Web search (e.g. Google) you can change the URL in Settings -> Web -> Web searches; That way you can change the Google URL to your proxy URL.

It could be set windows global proxy,but it's not obviously gental and convenient .Given what you mentioned replacing WebURL as proxy web, it can't solve origin issue,such as google translate.I can't find the alternative mirror proxy web.So the function i hope just like QQ,Netease Music etc..: image image
