Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/125

Setup: vps -> docker -> whoogle-search container -> nginx rev proxy

Everything appears to work fine if I navigate to search.my.domain (made up) and I see the whoogle search, and results work fine as well.

The problem is when I add whoogle to firefox's search, select it in the dropdown, do a query on the address bar, it navigates to localhost:port.

Perhaps I'm missing some obvious configuration? Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Seems like it was just some sort of unsticky configuration issue, seems to have resolved itself. Closing.
