I know, BBC broke my search parser before. It's still not perfect. If they keep breaking im going to drop BBC altogether. They are not providing a proper way to search for places and this engine is getting the most complaints so I may just axe it. There will be more sources soon. But my RL needs take priority.. no job == no KDE. Looks like a duplicate of bug #205235. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 226022 *** whoops, wrong bug# *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 205235 *** |
Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources For example, searching, "Blackpool" in the plasmoid's configuration with, "BBC Weather from UK MET Office" selected results in no matches, and searching for my post-code results in a town as far away from Blackpool as possible while still being in England ("Fowey, Cornwall"). However, a search from the UK MET office website results in many results for different details: http://search.metoffice.gov.uk/kbroker/metoffice/metoffice/search/search.lsim?qt=Blackpool&sr=0&nh=10&cs=iso-8859-1&sc=metoffice&sm=0&sf=&ha=1030&Search=Search Additionally, a search on the BBC Weather website results in a perfect match: http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/315?&search=blackpool&itemsPerPage=10®ion=uk
