Description Jurian Sluiman 2010-04-07 12:01:16 UTC

Version:           0.4.58 (using KDE 4.4.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

A valid google query is to search terms between double quotes. This character is double escaped and thus doesn't return the required result.

Example: type in the addressbar "rekonq browser" (WITH quotes). It will lead to Google with the query %2522rekonq%20browser%2522. This is escaped by Google as %22rekonq browser%22.

Rekonq shouldn't escape the data twice, the query should be %22rekonq%20browser%22 and Google recognize it as double quotes.

if this is not a dupe of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233159, then it at least is highly related to it.

I searched for escaping, but the correct term was encoding (of course!). Browsing to related bugs, I found #233325. And indeed, that's marked as a duplicate of #233159
