Touch to search has no access to the network

[MaluNoPeleke]

If I enable the option for touch to search and select Google as the default search engine I get an "No access to the network" error in the popup window at the bottom. Any way to fix it?

Please send a bug report. I did it a year ago but they need more reports to start fixing it. Also, the solution is here https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/88752/touch-to-search-is-buggy/1

Thanks for the link, but in my case it still doesn't work or did I miss something?

Hi, do you meant this?

Why this "No Network" popup happen for some user, no idea.
I had to search the net a bit and there are a lot of results for "Touch to search" network error.
This seems to happen with all browser.

I know Vivaldi have strange errors if one change the Android default font size, even user think it cant be connected with the problem.
This is on:

Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite
MIUI 13
Android 12
6.1.3035.110

[MaluNoPeleke]

Yes, exactly.

Hi, I saw your bug report VAB-7673 but I cant reproduce it.
The question is why?
I am still on Android 12 so I leave the report open, other tester or developer have to check if it is a Android version issue.

Cheers, mib

If I would know why I would maybe be able to solve it. For the Chrome browser I have found a potential solution but I cannot apply it for Vivaldi: https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/145520376?hl=de&msgid=146474176

Edit: I just fixed it by disabling the additional option for surrounding text"

@MaluNoPeleke
Hi, does it mean you get it to work on Vivaldi?
Then I could close the bug.

Please explain a bit more for other user with the same issue.
You set the flags?
I cant find these flags in:
6.1.3035.110
6.2.3075.10

Enable 'Contextual Search force a caption'
Disable 'Contextual Search long-press Resolves' 
Enable 'Contextual Search new settings'

[MaluNoPeleke]

No, I just disabled the surrounding text option in the settings.

@MaluNoPeleke
Ah, I have it enabled but it still works.
At least it is a setting user can check.

Thanks, schönen Abend, mib
