Package: konqueror
Version: KDE 3.0.0 
Severity: wishlist
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified


     The Internet Keywords feature on the Konqueror web browser is an excellent feature; my ability to \
drop a query to a search engine from the Location bar is the reason why I started using Konqueror instead \
of Netscape in the first place.  However, the Internet Keywords part of the feature (i.e. typing "google" \
in the Location bar rather than "http://www.google.com" and being taken directly to google.com) seems to \
respond arbitrarily at best.  I cannot ever guess when this feature will take me to a completed search \
page or some web site that I have never even heard of, simply because the web site shares the same name \
as my query.  My suggestion would be to make the option available to leave the search engine portion of \
this feature available while disabling the Internet Keywords feature in Konqueror Configuration (right \
now both features are controlled by one check box).  Another excellent feature would be the ability to \
define or remove Internet Keywords of your own.  As it stands, I can find no discernable list of Internet \
Keywords anywhere in the Konqueror configuration.  I have no way of knowing what will even bring up the \
                search engine or what will automatically redirect me to a web site.
     Anyway, I hope that somehow you can make this useful.  I really appreciate your products; keep up \
the good work, etc., etc...

Thanks for your time --
Jason
