Bug Description

Shorts 0.2.418 on Bq Aq 4.5, OTA-9.

When the "Use Google Search" option is switched off, the app crashes when I hit the reload button. For a few seconds, the update dialog shows, but then the app just terminates completely.

I use a open source C++ lib to convert xml to json, I traced that all crashes came from this lib.

I am considering update this lib to latest version or find another one to replace it.
