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However the query used seems to be out of date and no longer works.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

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.
