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
