I would like to create a search provider of this site:
https://onzetaal.nl/taaladvies
But when I enter TEST in the field “Zoeken in taaladviezen” I see this encrypted URL:
https://onzetaal.nl/taaladvies/zoek/eyJ ... oiVEVTVCJ9
PDF-XChange Editor of course stated that the URL is invalid. Is there a way to make it work somehow?

Re: Search provider issue
It seems like you have to run a search for "TEST" on the particular site that you would like to add to the Search Providers list in PDF-XChange.
So, for Onze Taal, it is something like this:
https://onzetaal.nl/zoekresultaten/?q=TEST
What I see, is that TEST must be in uppercase (hoofdletters).
When you introduce the above URL with "test" in lower case (kleine letters) - via "New" in the Search Providers list - it will NOT be accepted.
I hope this helps.

Re: Search provider issue
Thanks for your help, Willy. I know the search bar on top of the site works with your suggestion:
https://onzetaal.nl/zoekresultaten/?q=TEST
But it shows all results, also irrelevant. It seems they made a change because my old entry in PDF-XChange Editor doesn’t work anymore. It was:
https://onzetaal.nl/taaladvies/zoek?keywords=TEST
Luckily I can add the search engine to Firefox with the add-on “Add to Search Bar”. Also in Opera it works.

Re: Search provider issue
Hi Guys,
From what I see, the search that you want to use on that page does not provide the type of URL that we need for this to work. Unfortunately we cannot change this behaviour, as it would very likely cause problems with more popular search engines.
Thanks,
