Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/679

I recently downloaded all of my data from Google Takeout and I noticed a peculiar field that Chrome doesn't show when adding/editing search engines, namely suggestions_url which in this case is set to http://localhost:5000/autocomplete?q={searchTerms}. Since chrome shows no way to change this field whatsoever I'm assuming it's something that's exchanged automatically between whoogle and chrome as part of the opensearch standard or w/e, but my question is how do I tell whoogle to use my instance URL instead of the localhost:port one? It's in a docker container behind nginx so obviuously that doesn't work

You need simply to change the url in your configuration (under root url) and after add again whoogle to your browser.
