Package: w3m-el-snapshot
Version: 1.4.478+0.20120501-1
Severity: normal
I use wikipedia as my default search engine:
(setq
w3m-search-engine-alist
'(("google" "http://encrypted.google.com/search?q=%s";)
;; ("google" "http://google.com.au/search?q=%s";)
("wikipedia" "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/%s";)
;; ("wikipedia" "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/%s";)
("duckduckgo" "https://duckduckgo.com/lite?q=%s";))
w3m-search-default-engine "wikipedia")
Around 15 July 2011, this stopped working properly. It turned out to
be because Wikipedia started treating these links differently:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/foo+bar
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/foo%20bar
At that time, I deployed a workaround in my .emacs:
;;; Guerilla patch -- redefine this to cat using "%20" instead of "+", since
;;; apparently Wikipedia doesn't like the latter anymore.
(eval-after-load "w3m-search"
'(defun w3m-search-escape-query-string (str &optional coding)
(mapconcat
(lambda (s)
(w3m-url-encode-string s (or coding w3m-default-coding-system)))
(split-string str)
"%20")))
...however this should probably be dealt with upstream. I do not know
if simply changing + to %20 is the right way to address this, but I
haven't had any problems so far.
PS: sorry I didn't bother to report this sooner...
