Guys,
With all the recent publicity concerning privacy concerns with current search
provider policy changes, it would be nice to update the default list of default
search providers in Konqueror to provide users a broader ranger of choices to
meet a wider range of privacy infringement tolerance....
It should be a relatively simple task since most providers publish a url
scheme to use in forming queries. The tricky part is coming up with a list that
users will want and use. If you have a favorite - reply and let the list know.
I'll look into where they go in the code. Recently Calvin suggested startpage
and it has been good. What are some of the others you like?
Startpage
AltaVista (already available)
DogPile ?

I cannot emphasize Duck Duck Go enough. They are an up and coming
search engine that are based in Philadelphia. They do not search,
bubble or track you! They provide an innovative and techie interface
that allows you to do lots of cool stuff. Best of all I don't have to
worry about being tracked.

I have the following search engines in Firefox:
amazondotcom
answers
askjeeves
creativecommons
dictionarycom
duck_duck_go
duck_duck_go_ssl
eBay
google
google_ssl
imdb
ixquick-ssl
ixquick
newegg
scroogle-ssl
scroogle
webster
wikipedia
yahoo
If Konqueror uses the same xml file format for search engines, then just grab those from
Firefox, modify as necessary and be done.
Something like this is not a code-critical change and (unless Tim objects) I can push the
changes to GIT. But somebody needs to test the final package and vouch that each search
engine actually works before I'll do that. :)

From personal experience, almost nothing renders well in Konqueror
anymore. Google is the only thing that does for me out of the sites I
normally frequent, and it's forced to use the "old-fashioned"
interface from over a year ago because KHTML is severely outdated.

Google renders well in Konqueror. It just uses the older interface
(which imho is cleaner and faster). Bing is partially broken.
1:53 p.m.
New subject: [trinity-devel] What about updating Konqueror search providers with recent list?
Let me break it down.
I said nothing about being broken.
Okay sorry,
you said most things do not render well. I consider that
broken. If a renderer is not rendering something properly, it is
broken. The same way if a car does not drive, it is also broken.
Please properly read what I am saying.
This is why many arguments break out on the Internet
because people put words in other people's mouths.
No I'm not really sure why you have turned this into an argument, or
something stranger. it's sort of upsetting to me. Are you
intentionally doing so?
>That's what I said, isn't it?
Why did you say that? Because you wanted to bait me into creating a
superficial argument so you could fulfill some weird social need? I
don't want to get into semantic, pedantic, or any ic arguments.
I just said that most things don't render well, I
never said nothing about most things
being broken.
Broken? I think this sentence is broken. Please use proper English.
We do need most things to render well to make Konqueror
a viable browser.
Okay sort of off topic here - this doesn't really have anything to do
with the original discussion, and neither does my reply frankly. Lets
try and stay on topic

Okay sort of off topic here - this doesn't really have anything to do
with the original discussion, and neither does my reply frankly. Lets
try and stay on topic Flame flame go away flame again another day.
So I am flaming? No, I am simply expressing my frustration at your misinterpreting my
messages. Now I am angry, since you are continuing to turn my messages into something they
are now. This is yet another reason internet arguments occur.
Since the volunteers on the TDE mailing list seem to want to frequently start flame wars
on their public mailing lists, I am very discouraged about whether or not it would be
worth it to stay with TDE. If the TDE community is like this, it is not worth it. So, if
we can stop twisting around each other words and JUST PLAIN STOP FLAMING AND TROLLING, I
will stay and will try to help once I have my new hard disk. Otherwise, it just isn't
worth if for me.
Am I overreacting? Maybe. Do I think I'm overreacting? Certainly not. This isn't
the first time my words were twisted around, and it most certainly isn't the first
time that flaming has occurred here.

If it isn't worth your time, then save yourself the misery and duck
out now. You are free stay or to leave, or do whatever you wish.
However, I beg you not to make any rash decisions based on a single
misunderstanding.
We're all on the same team here. Everyone is gunning for Trinity. So
lets keep focused on working and not focused on pointless discussion.

I could have saved you this entire argument: KHTML is broken. Badly.
Please keep it civil on these lists.

I would like to keep things civil. However, considering that most every time (not
literally every time) I unsubscribe from the lists, usually for personal reasons not
related to TDE, then resubscribe, there seems to be some kind of flaming going on. I find
this very discouraging. Therefor, me possibly leaving is not based on this one event. If
we can keep this from happening, I do not see any reason to leave TDE. If, however, the
flaming continues to occur, then yes, I will leave.
And as far as I'm considered, I do not see any reason to try to make someone look like
the bad guy just because he or she is trying to express an opinion or feeling about a
situation, as has happened here.
