Existing Bangs show new behaviour #48

Hi, I will illustrate this bug with an example:

!wf, is configured to 'https://workflowy.com/%s' and has been working fine until recently.
now typing in !wf, redirects to 'https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Accueil_principal'

I suspect this is bc the duckduckgo bang was updated. Removing the existing bang and adding it again made it work like a charm again. Now !wf redirects to my initial https://workflowy.com/%s

FYI

quickest fix / parking is adding a line about this in the readme ;)

I'm not sure why or how this would happen... What is your default search engine?

I'm using Brave :
Brave 1.71.121, Chromium 130.0.6723.91

Thanks, what search engine does your address bar default to? is it DDG?

Apologies, I forget that Brave is a search engine as well as a browser!

Looks like it was Brave catching the bang and using it's own system before CBS could intercept. I'm not sure why updating it in your settings made it work again. I will have to investigate, thanks

Yes you are right! - I did some more experimenting, and here is the catch: when I update the bang, it will only last for that browser session! After a complete reboot of the machine it will redirect to (in this example) the French Wiki (instead of Workflowy, the link I want it to redirect).
