User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have a bookmark for the internet archive with a search keyword, pointing at
https://web.archive.org/web/*/%s

I want to search for a URL using that.

Actual results:

The URL was escaped and thus the wayback machine found no results.

Expected results:

The URL isn't escaped for that engine.
My idea for accomplishing that is to have an alternative to %s, maybe %r (for raw) that is substituted by the unescaped query.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Search' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Search

You can already choose to use a raw value with %S rather than %s (i.e. use a capital S).
