Search with punctuation is broken again

TCat

This had been fixed probably 18 months ago. It's broken again.
Any quick-search with embedded punctuation, e.g. &, will not go through correctly. It is cut off at the &.
For example, set up a shortcut for Google or Kagi - both fail equally well. Call them gw and kw respectively.
gw at&t activearmor filter
and
kw at&t activearmor filter
will only search for "at".

Expect the entire search text to be correctly escaped and passed.

Hi, @TCat

Unable to reproduce with Startpage set as default search engine:

Configuration

Browser: Orion Browser
Version: 0.99.133.2-rc (WebKit 619.1.11.111.2) May 5, 2025
Operating System: macOS Ventura 13.4 (22F66)

Is this issue happens with shortcuts only?
Please kindly advise.

Best regards,
Yuriy

Interesting. Yes, only with Shortcuts (QuickSearch bookmarks). Which is the only way I ever search.
Here's why! 😎

As you can see, I have them set for pretty granular results.

Hey @TCat, thanks for reporting this one. To make sure I'm understanding correctly, you want bookmarks search to search for a string with embedded punctuation in the URL (or even the name) of the bookmark.

So for instance, q=%s&tbs=qdr:y4 in your case should filter the Google 4-Year Search bookmark.

I tested this out and it seems to be working for me. In my screenshot, a search query of K_ID=IC&IT is correctly returning a bookmark with its url containing that string.

If you could provide more details about how exactly to reproduce the bug, it'd be great. Thanks!
