How to update the icon of search alias?

[chenerg]

I have configured with the following script,

api.removeSearchAlias('b');
api.addSearchAlias('b', 'bilibili', 'https://search.bilibili.com/all?keyword=', 's', 'https://s.search.bilibili.com/main/suggest?func=suggest&suggest_type=accurate&sub_type=tag&main_ver=v1&highlight=&upuser_num=3&term=?', function(response) {
    var res = JSON.parse(response.text).result.tag;
    return res.map(function(r){
        return r.value;
    });
   }, 
   {favicon_url: 'https://www.bilibili.com/favicon.ico'}
);

however, the icon is still be the icon of baidu, how can I update the icon to the bilibili website?

I just encountered the same problem.

I did some research and had a look at the implementation (introduced by #1657). Which works well if we use a new search alias (for example 'x'). Because 'x' is no predefined alias. If we try to remove an existing and alias and replace it with some other, the icon is already saved in the local storage. As they are loaded by default. And since the stored icon is preferred over the favicon_url we are not able to use the favicon_url.

https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys/blob/c9ab83e9f6277d2c5fbf04e3126c0b89555b038a/src/content_scripts/ui/omnibar.js#L1254-L1273

IMO this behaviour could be fixed by either changing the implementation of the configurable favicon to favour the favicon_url or by removing the local store entry in the removeSearchAlias. One downside of the second approach is that we have to manage domain specific removals.

Great explanation！ It seems that I cannot change it now, hope someone can implement it.

[al3xfischer]

I'll have a look in my spare time.

hi, how could we remove icon, I do not like icon and want to switch it back to words, is there anyway I could do that？ Thanks for your help.

I can offer a temporary solution: Open Surfingkeys setting page, ctrl + shift + i open the console of chrome. Application - LocalStorage - change the value of the key: surfingkeys.searchEngineIcon.b

here is bilibili favicon base64:

Should have been fixed in 1.16.0, ahead of which the alias letter was used as the key of icon, so if you are overriding a search alias, the existing icon won't be updated.

Since 1.16.0, the name of search engine (bilibili in this case) is being used as the key, the icon will be updated since bilibili is a different string from baidu.

And you can follow the instructions from @tywhisky to clear icons from application storage.
