Advanced Tomato: 'Recent Web Searches' log always empty

Question

The Recent Web Searches never worked. I tried with several different search engines (StartPage, DDG, Google, Yahoo) and never logs something.

I would like to enable that.

The Recently Visited Web Sites works fine, even requests with curl

Answer 1

It logs only HTTP traffic. All search engines now use HTTPS.

I monitored my desktop's traffic with ntopng and saw that all HTTPS traffic doesn't appear in Tomato logs.

ntopng is a web-based network traffic monitoring application released under GPLv3. It is the new incarnation of the original ntop written in 1998, and now revamped in terms of performance, usability, and features.

I use for example a Twitter client which constantly streams via HTTPS. In Tomato logs no connection to Twitter visible.
