I've now been using K-meleon for over a month, and it has quickly become my favorite browser. However, there is one glaring problem that I'm having, which depending on my mood, makes me switch back to Firefox when it happens.

Here is the current behavior:
1) Select some text on the page
2) enter some search terms in the URL bar
3) click on the search button
Result) the selected text is searched, and the terms you entered are ignored.

How can I change this? I like to select portions of text as I am reading through a web page, so this little problem comes up many times a day for me.

How do I remove the search for selected text feature?

(err, I thought I had the Discussion tab open. Mods/admins, please move this thread if you wish)

Go to K-Meleon installation folder, in 'macros' subfolder open 'search.kmm' file with a plain text editor (as notepad). Search this code at beginning of file:

Search{
$_Search_EngineURL==""?$_Search_EngineURL=getpref(STRING,$_Search_pref_DefaultURL):0;
$_Search_EngineName==""?$_Search_EngineName=getpref(STRING,$_Search_pref_DefaultName):0;
$_Search_Query=$SelectedText; $_Search_Query==""?&_Search_Typed:&_Search_Selected;
$_Search_EngineName="";
$_Search_EngineURL="";
}

Change by this code:

Search{
$_Search_EngineURL==""?$_Search_EngineURL=getpref(STRING,$_Search_pref_DefaultURL):0;
$_Search_EngineName==""?$_Search_EngineName=getpref(STRING,$_Search_pref_DefaultName):0;
$_urltyped = index($URLBAR, "http://";
$_Search_Query=$SelectedText;
$_urltyped==-1?&_Search_Typed:&_Search_Selected;
$_Search_EngineName="";
$_Search_EngineURL="";
}

Greetings.
