Hello,

I want to add Qwant Lite as default search engine in Firefox 60.3.0 ESR with GPO. I have succefully done it, but there is a problem when I make a research with any character with accent (é, è, à, ...) Example : "testé" become "test%E9"

I have tested with the Qwant Lite Extension, which have exactly the same parameters than my GPO, and there is no problem, so I don't understand why...

Hmm, I think "testé" should be URL-encoded as

%22test%C3%A9%22

Could this be a utf-8 vs. Latin encoding difference?

What are you adding -- is it an OpenSource .xml search plugin file?

I have add it with this GPO

Hi Izanagi52, thank you for the screenshot.

In a conventional OpenSearch XML plugin file, there's usually a line like the following:

<InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>

It seems there's no space in your form for that.

I don't know whether the search engine plugins you define through GPO have a default character set of UTF-8 or something else.

Could you post a new issue on the following and see whether they can sort out the problem:

Thanks for your answers.

Else, can I add a new search engine for all users without this GPO?
