A Bang I added for scoop.sh to the official Bang repository exhibits unusual behavior when used without a search term. Unlike other Bangs, it appends the search variable {{{s}}} into the URL and adds an unnecessary question mark before the hashtag.
A while ago I added a Bang for scoop.sh to the official Bang repository:
{
"s": "Scoop",
"d": "scoop.sh",
"t": "scoop",
"u": "https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q={{{s}}}",
"c": "Tech",
"sc": "Downloads (software)"
},
Actual Behaviour
Searching without a term:
- Query:
!scoop
- Actual redirect:
https://scoop.sh/?#/apps?q={{{s}}}
- The string
{{{s}}} remains in the URL, and an extra question mark is added before the hashtag, which differs from the behavior of other Bangs.
Other Bangs (e.g., !github, !youtube) simply redirect to their base domain when no search term is provided.
Expected Behaviour
Searching with a term:
- Query:
!scoop test
- Expected redirect:
https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=test (works as expected)
Searching without a term:
- Query:
!scoop
- Expected redirect:
https://scoop.sh/ (base domain, without search terms).
