@TsunamiZ In case you didn't see it... there was another recent thread on this problem and solutions here:

ViWalter

Yandex search also does not work

Image Search URL > https://lens.google.com/uploadbyurl?url={google:imageURL}
Image Search POST Parameters > clear everything here

works for me

@heidi-hoh TIP: When pasting search engine urls, use code blocks

Otherwise, if the user does a "copy link address" it will end up as:
https://lens.google.com/uploadbyurl?url=%7Bgoogle:imageURL%7D
Because links are url-encoded.

OK.
Don't know "code blocks". Never heard before.

I would always copy this "as text" in this situation. Curious for me, that people could use "copy link address" instead.

You changed it? It is OK know?

Hm, sorry but i still don't know how to paste a "link" in the way you like it.
In fact, i don't want to post a link at all, but just plain text, which only later, after pasting in the settings, works as a link.

I know that "markdown" exists because of planing to change my note-tool, but markdown or similar syntax could not be "common sense" in user to user boards.
If we need some rules about formatting text for postings that are not common sense, the mods should create a FAQ like "10 important rules for formatting in posts" with simple explanations for normal, non-syntax users.

@heidi-hoh If you post search URLs, the parameters will be changed by forum and are broken to be used in Vivaldi settings.
Post them between Backticks ( these: ` ` ) to create inline code
or in code block; see
```
Post like this, will result in a code block
```

Makes more sense to move all this to https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/3/forum (yes, i know... ) since this post from pathduck?
