Description Adrián Chaves (Gallaecio) 2012-03-24 20:13:16 UTC 
On certain websites, Rekonq shows the web shortcut icon at the right side on the URL bar, and if you click, a dialog pops up asking you for a name and a shortcut for the new search engine you are adding to Rekong based on the current page you are visiting.

But it has no effects. The search engine is not listed then among the search engines, neither is it possible to use it by writting on the URL bar (shortcut:<terms>).

I am guessing it is an unfinished feature. While I would love for it to work, I would prefer, from an user’s point of view, for you to remove the icon from the URL bar completely, until someone implements the feature for real.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to https://thepiratebay.se/search/kde/0/7/0
2. Once the page is completely loaded, web shortcuts icons (as seen on the settings, only smaller) will be displayed on the right side of the field where you entered the URL. If you cover the icon, tooltip says “Add Web Shortcut” (or similar text).
3. Click there, and fill the fields on the popup dialog. For example: “The Pirate Bay” as name, and “tpb” as shortcut.
4. Click “OK”.
5. Go to Configure rekonq… → Search Engines and look for your newly added engine. It won’t be there.
6. Back to the URL bar, write “tbp:kde”. It won’t work.

Add  search engine from url bar doesn't work for me either. I'm using rekonq compiled from trunk (git:0.9.82) in Chakra Linux
Comment 5 Andrea Diamantini 2012-07-09 14:48:19 UTC 
Antonis, can you try rekonq master or rekonq 0.9.82 to see if it is working now? Can you suggest me a link where you see it NOT working?
