[Issue]: Web search prefix lenght
by Juan M Sevilla March 1, 2026

Hi, I'm using prefixes to search using different websites, but noticed that this prefix cannot be 1 nor more than 2 characters long. For example, I configured Wikipedia in English and Spanish, the former with prefix "wien" and the latter just "wi". In my dillorc, the English version is first, so Dillo always uses this one to search, whether I type "wi hola" or "wien hola". I've also set a dictionary with prefix "d", but Dillo always searches on DuckDuckGo, which has the prefix "dd". I wonder if prefixes could be longer or shorter. On Firefox, I'm using from 1 to 4 characters, the longer ones mainly to differentiate the English from the Spanish version (Wikipedia; Wiktionary; WordReference Translate, Dictionaries, Synonim). Otherwise, I can live with the 2-character length, but it would be great if it was stated on the dillorc file, something like: > (the prefix serves to search from the Location Bar. e.g. "dd dillo > image" and it must be 2 characters long) Thank you! I've been using Dillo for six months and I like it very much :D
