This results in a browser window with an extremely long title (the same as the query). After this, when you try to alt-tab, KDE shows a poorly formatted switcher dialog: in which the extremely long title is shown and ALL the other window titles (browser or otherwise) are shifted to the right, rendering them invisible... probably to accomodate the long title.

I am not able to get a screenshot, because I dont think I can screenshot
with alt-tab
