Web Searches Not Working When Copied from Another Computer's Portable Install

[NikoMuffin]

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Tune a portable copy of FlowLauncher's web search plugin with custom keywords
2. RAR or ZIP the file
3. Take install to another computer
4. Try to search with the same keyword.... e.g. "rm" in this case.
5. Observe that the search keyword doesn't work
6. User has to go into websearch plugin, type a . Or some other letter in the action keyword space, confirm, then go back in and remove the . And confirm again. The rm action keyword is working now.

Your System

Flow Launcher version: 1.7.2

Flow Launcher Error Log -- PLEASE START AT LINE 54 when I searched with "rm". You can search for letters "Rm" to find the first hit in the log

Could you share the log? You can find the log by search with "Open Log Location"

Hey 'Open Log Location' feature has not been released yet, please see Flow's readme for the log location for now.

Hmm this is indeed a strange bug, I have never come across this before and I have moved the same portable flow across a couple of computers.

This is incredibly strange. Even when I fix the search entry by putting a . or something in the keyword and then re-saving, on re-launch the websearch goes back to not working.

I'll have to hunt down logs or maybe even just zip the whole package together and send. What do you think?

Could you share the log? Without the log, it will be almost impossible to understand where gets wrong.

Closing this now, pretty sure it is fixed with #455. @mochigithub you can try the 1.8.0 in the pipeline here, note it doesn't work with Everything yet if you are using it.

Reopen if the problem persists.
