[Surfraw-devel] Bug#628683: surfraw does not work correctly with chromium

[Michel]

Package: surfraw
Version: 2.2.7-1
Severity: important


Running [1] without a ~/.surfraw.conf. Opens a new window with the home page.
And get the following message after it runs [2].

Running [1] with ~/.surfraw.conf with SURFRAW_graphical_browser=/usr/bin/chromium.
Opens a new tab in a current browsing session. But with the following in the
navigation bar: openurl%28http//www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=test) And also get the
following message after it runs [2].

Running [3], works as expected. A new tab is opened in a current browsing
session, with the correct page and results. Note, having ~/.surfraw.conf in
place or not has no affect using this method.

It would be nice if using [1] would just work and not have to use [3] each time
one wants to use surfraw with chromium.

[1] $ sr imdb test 
[2] $ Created new window in existing browser session.
[3] $ sr -browser=/usr/bin/chromium imdb test

Thanks
