WDS for Enterprise "Web Search" feature, using Opera/Firefox... jmc777 12-13-2005

Hey! :)

I'm using the enterprise version of WDS and I'm having problems when trying
to initiate a web search from both the deskbar and the explorer interface
when a alternative browser is set as default.

In Opera: When I search the web from the deskbar or explorer I get a "Could
not locate remote server" error, the address bar shows "http:///?%20test",
with "test" being the search criteria in this example.

In Firefox: Using the same search as above,"test", Firefox shows
"file:///C:/?%20test" in the address bar, and in the browser window it shows
the root of my C: drive.


Is this by design? Will alternative browsers be supported in the future?
(Assuming it's not a problem with my system.)


Thanks in advance!

The WDS will work in any browser except IE.

And as a toolbar invokes browser via system, sending it http link - IE
must be set as default.
