🐛 Results are often prefixed with localhost:port which result in 404

[stef204]

Description

On branch rolling.

Very often, when searching, the results page will show a number of links to websites/webpages which include both valid links and invalid ones--resulting in error 404.

The invalid links are prefixed with http://localhost:port/ which of course results in 404.

One can just hover the mouse over the various results and see which links are valid and which are not.

This is definitely something which needs to be resolved. Unless I my config file is misconfigured, creating the problem.

Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks ❤️ for taking the time to report this issue. We really appreciate it as this helps improves the project. 🙂 .

My best guess is this issue maybe due to breaking API changes from the upstream search engines which could be causing the wrong search results being grabbed from the above search engines rather than from the config file. @jfvillablanca What do you think? Also, if you are free, could you investigate more into this. 😅

Yeah, I think you might be right, it probably has something to do breaking changes upstream. I'll take a look at this

If you could provide a minimal way to reproduce this issue, I would be most grateful 😄

Edit:
I think the affected engine is Mojeek; currently investigating

I've been waiting 3 weeks to mention that this seems to only happen with the mojeek search engine ;)
So enable that in config.lua and search, look at results.
Thanks.
