Problem with search engine added with GPO (Qwant Lite) and accent
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:
UTF-8 is added automatically.
- queryCharset: "UTF-8",
Thanks for your answers.
Else, can I add a new search engine for all users without this GPO?
