Search fail with custom POST search engine

[milouse]

The addons-pocalypse from the last days (3-5 may) had one benefit: it proves my search problem is related to the cliqz addons on the cliqz browser (at least, I will try on firefox later). I suspect this is because my search engine requires POST request.

Step to reproduces:

1. Open cliqz and go to a not default search engine (like any searx instance, for example mine: https://trouver.umaneti.net)
2. Add this new search engine and make it default
3. Try to search anything from the urlbar. Cliqz begin to show proposals.
4. Hit (click) on « search with trouver.umaneti.net »

Expected result

This search engine is called with the keywords present in the url bar (what I can see since cliqz addons is broken)

Actual result

The search engine home page is displayed and I have to enter again my keywords. The URL bar still display the « keyword cartouche » at its left.

hi @milouse !

I can reproduce this and it seems that we have 2 separate issues: (1) this search engine does not seem to have a valid icon and we do not handle this case well plus (2) what you mentioned with requiring a POST request in the opensearch definition.

We created an internal bug and fix it in our next release. Thanks for the report!

Cheers, Lucian

Thank you very much !

Just to be complete, starting a search request from the contextual menu (right click --> search with …) works properly. Thus only the urlbar has the wrong behavior.

@milouse Could you maybe check if this issue was fixed on your side? I think the tickets created at the time were closed.

To be honest, as it was not working, I switch back to duckduckgo xD

I just test again today (cliqz 1.32.1 / [email protected] 1.42.0.74) and the bug is still there. Easily reproducible with https://searx.laquadrature.net/ for example.

Thanks, I will have a look!
