Remove default smart bookmark (2.09 KB, patch)

Description Hussam Al-Tayeb 2016-03-08 11:35:46 UTC 
The selected search engine in preferences is "Google".
If I type "Linux" in the location bar and press enter, it uses google search (as expected).
But if I click "Search the web" at the bottom of the location bar menu, it uses DuckDuckGo instead of "Google".

It's a bookmark we have by default, with the title "Search the Web." I deleted it ages ago and use DDG, so I didn't notice. I guess that's incredibly confusing, so I think we should delete it.

(Apparently you can add arbitrary search engines to the preferences dialog by creating smart bookmarks, then they show up in the combo box... I didn't know that was possible, even though I'm the one who implemented that combo box. :)

Remove default smart bookmark

It's terrible and it's confusing users.

FYI I wound up adding GNOME and WebKit default bookmarks to replace DuckDuckGo.

(DuckDuckGo is still the default search engine.)
