Hey y'all,

Maybe an easy one, but been looking around without success so far: I added my self hosted, docker-behind-nginx-reverse-proxy-with-SSL whoogle instance as default search engine on my ubuntu 21.10 FF 98.0.2, but when typing in the URL bar it doesn't give me the search results, it just goes to my whoogle homepage and I have to type it again.

WHY? :)

Let me what info I can add to debunk this if anything!

I just installed whoogle through Docker. I'm having the same issue while using docker and traefik.
I tried manually adding /search?q=asdf to my own instance and it works. So the issue seems related to the way Firefox save this when using Add "Whoogle" from the navigation bar.

It's not possible to set this on Firefox desktop. Or at least I haven't found a way. That method is only for the mobile apps.

I have started to experience this in the last docker image push. I cannot set https://path.to.whoogle/search?q=%s on Firefox desktop (you can but it requires deconstructing a JS file which you have to do every update).

Any logs we can provide to help track this down? I rely on Whoogle a lot and the extra friction from entering search queries twice is significant.

Can anyone experiencing this issue post the contents of /opensearch.xml when visiting from an affected browser? It's likely an issue with the opensearch template, but I haven't been able to track it down on my end.

I have the same issue, with both Firefox and chromium based browsers. I can reproduce it by opening incognito mode and browsing to https://whoogle-path/search?q=something. First time it will fail, and after that it will work as long as I don't restart the browser or the incognito window. The initial request returns an HTTP 307 (temporary redirect) but the browser doesn't seem to follow it.
Here is my opensearch.xml:

@hugues999 I'm unfortunately not able to recreate it with those steps either (on Firefox or a Chromium based browser).

I think there's two possibilities for what's going on. Either new sessions aren't able to successfully lock in a new session ID when performing searches through opensearch, and so the session validation step fails and sends the user back to the home page, or the session validation step just doesn't work altogether for some users.

It's a little hard to debug since I still can't reproduce this, but I'll look into potential solutions soon. If anything, I could at least provide a way to turn off session validation (which would remove any redirects for new sessions), which would likely only pose a risk to public instance maintainers anyways.

Edit: Never mind, I was able to figure out the issue using one of the public instances. I should have a fix pushed soon.

OK, I believe this should be fixed by the changes I just pushed. Basically new session searches weren't being fully reconstructed with the correct path, so initial searches would be redirected back to the home page. If anyone wants to try the latest changes on main or the latest Docker tag (once it's updated) and let me know if that fixes the issue, that would be great!
