GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 335127
Web Search from topbar defaults to google.co.uk
Last modified: 2006-03-21 17:34:16 UTC
Please describe the problem: When searching from the addressbar, the query is submitted to google.co.uk. I live in the US, and have my language/preferences set to reflect such. Epiphiany should either default to google.com (the safest bet) or detect the locality it is in and work from that. Or my personal favorate, offer some way to configure that (even if for interface reasons its not a primary preference, let users who really care change it in gconf or the like) Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
If you open a terminal, and run 'locale' what does it report ?
NOTE: This is what is created by default when ubuntu install's itself and the user selects USA. LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB:en LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
Interesting - ok, another question, if you go to "File -> Print Setup", is Colour spelt "Color" or "Colour" ? Basically, what should happen is that if your desktop language is en_GB (when you first start epiphany) it will use google.co.uk otherwise it will use google.com
Yeah, its spelled 'Colour' I think I found part of the issue, while the default lang for my desktop is en_US, ubuntu seems to only provide a en_GB mozilla-locale package, by removing the en_GB mozilla language pack and reinstalling epiphany, I was able to resolve this.
Right - this looks like https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/localechooser/+bug/10822 has re-surfaced.
