Description Zbigniew Luszpinski 2007-02-10 16:50:00 UTC
Version:           3.5.6 (using KDE 3.5.6, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.19.2

Konqueror does not advertise itself when using search bar.
If you search for anything in google using firefox or seamonkey the addressbar will look like this:
for firefox:
http://www.google.pl/search?q=something&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:pl:official&client=firefox-a

for seamonkey:
http://www.google.com/search?q=something&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=mozilla&rls=org.mozilla:PL:unofficial

konqueror sends this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=something&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

I think that by default Konqueror should advertise itself to google too using &rls and &client tags.

This &rls and &client tags can be added to running konqueror by going to: Settings->Configuration: Konqueror...->Network Shortcuts->gg,google->Modify

KDE developers should decide how &rls and &client variables will look like for Konqueror.

I think mozilla has a special arrangement with google, and this URL is used to know which queries come from mozilla. We could change the URL in konqueror, but I'm not sure what this would really achieve, as long as we have no agreement with google.

Yes but my question about the purpose hasn't been answered.
