Installed QML-browser recently, thanks to Nwer OpenSSL.

Replaced %QUERY% with %Q in searchengines configuration file. That one is easy and should be incorporated into new version of QML-Browser.

Am fixing the problem with search defaulting to DuckDuckGo and ignoring the settings. The current band-aid fix is to put something like "1/Wikipedia" into searchEngine setting (by using currentIndex of ListPickSelector), instead of "Wikipedia", and then extract the integer {with .split("/")[0] and parseInt(String)} as needed in UrlInputField (to replace hard-coded 0). Works, but ListPickSelector doesn't like it. There could be a more graceful solution than that, I think, but that would require recompiling the binary?

Thank you. Best wishes.
