All,
We need to add startpage (doesn't record IP for searches) to konqueror web shortcuts for R14 and 3.5.13-sru code. Checking, I was surprised to see that StartPage now publishes full support for konqueror and recognizes it in TDE right off the bat. Just visit startpage.com and a link is automatically provided to:
You can now easily add Startpage to your Konqueror browser. To add Startpage as web shortcut to your konqueror browser follow below Instructions.
Instructions:
1. Goto "Settings" in the Konqueror menu of your Browser.
2. Then Select "configure konqueror..".
3. Then choose "Enhanced Browsing or Web Shortcuts" from the sidebar on the left, and you will get a nice long list of shortcut.
4. Click "New" button.
5. Enter 'Startpage' in Search Provider "Name:"
* 6. Enter 'http://startpage.com/do/search?query=%5C%7B@%7D' in "Search URI:".
7. Enter your own shortcuts e.g: 'ix,ixq,startpage' in "URI Shortcuts:".
8. Click OK.
After following these instructions, you're ready to search: just enter "ix:" and press Enter!
* Note: the original instruction suggest 'ixquick.com' as the search domain, but I prefer the startpage.com domain.
You can also select StartPage as your default search provider after adding it above. Then your search box in the middle of your home page as well as the little search window in the top right will use it for search.
We should also add Duck Duck Go, another tracking free engine On Aug 8, 2012 6:06 PM, "David C. Rankin" drankinatty@suddenlinkmail.com wrote:

That is #14 on http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/49
What we need to know is what goes in the URL part of web shortcuts. I've tested what StartPage published:
'http://startpage.com/do/search?query=%5C%7B@%7D'
(we can use https also)
and it works fine. What form does Duck Duck Go take? I guess it would be similar. Looking, I think it is:
'https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=%5C%7B@%7D'
at least that is what I got to work. I added it.

One issue I noticed looking at ddg, was none of the buttons rendered correctly in TDE konqueror. They were all crammed together. Do we know what in konqueror is causing this?
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like:

Yes I forgot that I've long since used their life version.
Duckduckgo.com/lite iirc

That renders correctly:
'https://duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=%5C%7B@%7D'
We will go with that....
