Description Maximiliano Curia 2016-10-25 11:23:51 UTC

Forwarding Debian bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=820925
"""

The file 
/usr/share/kservices5/searchproviders/facebook.desktop

provides a web shortcut to search facebook.

However the query used seems to be out of date and no longer works.

It should be replaced with this line

https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?init=quick&q=\\{@}

"""
DISCLAIMER: I'm not able to test this, as I don't use facebook, and the search link requires to be logged in.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2016-10-26 00:31:34 UTC

Requires a user with a Facebook account to test.

Comment 2 Avinesh Singh 2017-08-07 16:02:11 UTC

Status should be set to invalid as it is not a bug. The Facebook search does work.

Comment 3 David Faure 2017-08-08 13:19:28 UTC

Yup, can't confirm, it works.
