[Bug] site search crashes browser

[jhnc]

Describe the bug

submitting a site search from a form makes the browser crash

How to Reproduce

I added this code to a webpage on my site (substitute example.org to test):

<form method="get" action="https://duckduckgo.com/"
  target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
    <input type="hidden" name="sites" value="example.org"/>
    <input type="text" name="q" maxlength="200" onfocus="this.select()" />
    <input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>

If I load the webpage, type in a search query, and submit, then after a couple of seconds, the browser crashes ("DuckDuckGo has stopped").

Expected behavior

I expect a webpage to open with the results of the search, as it does when the same webpage is tested using other browsers.

Hey @jhnc I tried to reproduce the issue in the latest version of ddg 5.197.1 and I was unable to reproduce it. Could you please try it on the latest version and check if the issue still persists or not ? Thanks, Vishnu

Looks good on 5.198.0 which I am now using.

We had a regression that could cause that crash, fixed in 5.198.0 indeed.

Closing this issue for now. Thanks a lot for reporting.
