Starting with Emacs 29, users should use ‘setopt’ to set the
value of user options instead of using ‘setq’.  The syntax
is the same:

   (setopt eww-search-prefix "some string for a URL")

See (info "(elisp) Setting Variables") and (info "(emacs)
Examining").

To see whether a variable is a user option or not, simply
use C-h v [name of variable], and look for text in the
docstring that says that you can customize the variable.

There is some interaction between ‘desktop’ and ‘eww’ where
‘desktop’ will not save an ‘eww’-related buffer.  This is
likely an error in ‘desktop’ that needs to be identified
(that is, find the steps for reproducing the error starting
from ‘emacs -Q’, and then report it with M-x report-emacs-bug).

Try deleting your eww buffer(s) and starting your web search
again, or try turning off ‘desktop-save-mode’ temporarily.
