[Bug 270853] Re: No umlaut (äöüß) support in awesomebar (smart keywords)

[hussong]

Correction entry: no bug. I re-checked everything and the awesomebar
works well.

Turns out it was a problem with the google quicksearch (smart keyword)
bookmark I had created years ago and was dragging along from system to
system ever since.

The bookmark URL contained a character encoding parameter that probably
had worked on Windows, but doesn't work on Ubuntu:
http://www.google.de/search?&q=%s&ie=iso-8859-1&hl=de&meta=lr%3Dlang_de

After trimming the URL to http://www.google.de/search?&q=%s it works
like a charm.

My mistake, sorry to have wasted your time.
