Issues with Firefox seach box (Google)

scorpionking
I have configured Web Protection as Standard Proxy with SSL scanning.

Now my clients have a problem with the Google search via Firefox search box in the top right.
If I type in a search request and press Return only a white page appears.
Sadly there's no corresponding entry in the Web Protection Log.
If I bypass the Proxy via Firwall rule, everything works as expected.

I did a few testing with the URL used by the search box. I always looks like this:
www.google.com/search&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla[:D]e[:$]fficial&client=firefox-a

I played a little with this URL.
If I strip the "&rls=org.mozilla[:D]e[:$]fficial" part the search works.

I then created a Proxy exception for the URL 
^https?://www\.google\.com/search\?.*&rls=org\.mozilla[:D]e[:$]fficial.*
 (all exceptions set) but that didn't help.

I suppose it's the ":" thats making the proxy struggle...

Any suggestions how to solve this?

    Ahh, I see!  Thanks for posting back.  The clue I see now was that you said you had checked all of the exceptions, but only four showed up in the "pass" line in the file.  That meant that the line qualified for another Exception before your new one was seen.

    Cheers - Bob
