tazweb search engine

Tazweb point to duckduckgo.com when searching, but the result is a blank page.

It should be point to html.duckduckgo.com instead.

A better solution should be a configurable search engine through a file in ~/.config/tazweb

Re: tazweb search engine

Hi Purpleleaf,

I tried replacing only the address, but nothing good came of it. When you request a search from the bar, the syntax remains incorrect.

Basically, it seems to me that tazweb is hardcoded. So modifying the search would also require a good knowledge of the sources.

If you think it's enough, you can add a bookmark with the search engine's home page

in the terminal:

echo “Duckduckgo search|https://html.duckduckgo.com/html” >> ~/.config/tazweb/bookmarks.txt

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Re: tazweb search engine

Hi gibor, purpleleaf,

Infact, on src, c file have define SEARCH value to duckduckgo.com

[c]#define SEARCH                  "http://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s&t=slitaz"[/c]

I doing test with tazweb, infact blank page, with midori, duckduckgo.com redirect himself to html.duckduckgo.com, both use same webkitgtk.

Think we could adjust to use html.duckduckgo.com instead duckduckgo.com that i think use gl/webgl feature
