Expected Behavior

have one confirmation: just the enter button after you enter the search

Steps to Reproduce

install the search plugin
install a second browser
use the search plugin to search for something
second "confirmation" window opens

no way to change this

I think you need to setup default browser for the user and if you want to use a particular search engine you can configure it in the plugin settings.

@Tobi-maru there seems to be no way to select this

[Tobi-maru]

you can use xdg to set default browser or u can just add it directly into the /etc/environmet file . For xdg method make sure u have xdg-portal running
