(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konqueror Version: KDE 3.0.2 Severity: wishlist Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: Not Specified OS: Not Specified OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified It would be useful for KDE to be configured with localised default search engine addresses. For example in the UK I would prefer to use www.google.co.uk instead of www.google.com since that gives the option of restricting the search to pages from the UK. The local Google page in other countries has a similar facility to restrict the search to pages from the relevant country. Excite also has a localised page dependent on country. So could we please have all search engine default pages localised where possible? (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)

I didn't mean to base the localisation on the language but on the country. I didn't realise that it was possible to change the default search engine pages other than by editing files in /opt/kde3/share/ but I would still say that a default of the page for the country which is configured in KControl would be better than the USA version. As you say this can always be changed if the user desires. I just think that more users would be likely to want their own country's page than the USA page. -- David Jarvie <software@astrojar.org.uk>
