Describe the bug
Pretty simple - bangs don't work. I've tried three different devices, four different browsers, tried from the search bar in Firefox as well as from the Whoogle home page, tried multiple bangs (!g, !w, !yt), tried a couple of public instances in addition to my self-hosted site:
https://s.tokhmi.xyz - does not work for me
https://wg.vern.cc/ - does not work
https://search.garudalinux.org/ - DOES work

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'http://whoogle.internal'
  2. Enter '!g test' into search box
    Expected: Browser lands on Google search page for "test"
    Actual result: Browser lands on Whoogle search page for "!g test"

Deployment Method

  • Docker (I can provide my docker-compose file but it's pretty simple

Version of Whoogle Search

  • Latest build from [source] (i.e. GitHub, Docker Hub, pip, etc)
  • [v0.8.4] Version [version number]

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: [Windows 11, two different PCs]
  • Browser [Firefox, Edge]
  • Version [Latest]

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

  • Device: [Uniherts Jelly Star]
  • OS: [Android 13]
  • Browser [Firefox, Chrome]
  • Version [Latest]

Additional context
I've tried the 3 public instances listed above side by side, copy-pasted the same search query. search.garudalinux.org works, the other 3 do not. Very strange!

I've just fixed this. I was looking through my docker-compose file, thought maybe it was because I had WHOOGLE_MINIMAL=true set, made that false and recreated the container. Bangs work! Just in case, went back, set it to true, recreated the container and bangs still work. I'm about 80% sure I'd tried stopping and recreating the container without that config change, but I could be wrong. At any rate, my self-hosted instance now works but those two public instances still don't.
