Summary: Different filtering between opperating systems

Initial Comment:
Filtering between OS/2 version 3.0.16 and windows 3.0.16 or .17 is not the same.
When I use OS/2 to filter "a action file" .suggestqueries.google.com and suggestqueries.google.com and clients*.google. it works filtering out Google popping up suggestion and auto search.
Using the same lines and files Windows version do not filter at all, not even a mention a log file or screen.
Thanks for your time.

I can't see any obvious issues in the log files.

Please additionally enable "debug 64" so filter execution is logged as
well.

If using Squid somehow affects the problem, a log for Squid would be
useful, too.

You also may want to verify that http://config.privoxy.org/show-version
actually shows that the page should be filtered. Maybe filtering was
previously disabled and your action file change enabled it again.

Note that ".google.com.au/extern_*/*/*.*" can be reduced to
".google.com.au/extern" so I'm not sure if that's what you intended.

I have fixed it by adding " .google.com.au/extern_*/*/*.* " to a action
file, still can't think what Squid has or is doing to over come this.

I have found that on my os2 computer "server" using Squid and Privoxy it
works, take away Squid and it's not working. Nothing to do with Privoxy and
Windows "by them self", sorry about that.
I have sent you the files for you to have a look at, would like to hear
any thoughts if any you may have.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the report.

Please reproduce the problem with logging enabled as described at:
http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/contact.html#CONTACT-BUGS
and attach the logfile.

If logging is enabled and Privoxy still doesn't log anything, there's
a fair chance that the client isn't actually using Privoxy.
