I meant to copy paste the url of "Detailed Map 21km NE of Soledad, 
Californi", if you right click it you can copy paste it. It would be 
interesting to see how it looks like. But probably the same as other 
instances of equake I would expect.

There shouldn't be. But you're probably thinking in the right direction 
it may be something to do with the way you configured the search engine.

It could also be the program which is used to launch the url. It's 
called exo-open and is part of xfce. I haven't yet installed the newest 
xfce so exo-open may behave differently than my version, which is 0.6.2

Once you have found a url of a "Detailed map" try to paste it in a 
browser and load it. It should load fine.

Then also try to run it like this (replace http://www.example.com with 
the google maps url):

exo-open --launch WebBrowser 'http://www.example.com'
