Default Google search keyword broken [solved]
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 3:59 pm
Hi, I'm using SlimJet 1.3.0.0
I have set a keyword 'g' to default google search, if the built-in Google provider is set as default, typing 'g<space>' does not switch omnibox to 'Search Google' mode, it acts as if the keyword was never set. Other search engines work fine, even custom ones. Only Google search has this problem and only when it is set as default engine.
To summarize, I did these tests (two providers, Google has keyword 'g', Yandex has keyword 'y'):
1. Default is Google -> typing 'g<space>' doesn't work, 'y<space>' works
2. Default is Yandex -> 'g<space>' works, 'y<space>' works
3. If I create a custom Google engine search (https://www.google.com/search?q=%s), it's keyword works correctly in all situations
4. For the sake of it, I checked this situation also in Chromium (39.0.2162.0), it works correctly.
