Change firefox's automatic search engine?

jmite · 04-22-2009, 03:58 PM

As most of you already know, when you type a phrase into the firefox address bar, that isn't an address (i.e. linux computers), it will automatically take you to the first page of a google search of that phrase (for "linux computers," it was http://www.linux.org/vendor/system/index.html)

What I'm wondering is, is there any way to change what search engine it uses to do that? I'd love the feature, but I'd like to switch to ecosearch or something similar.

Thanks!

Not sure exactly what syntax you'd need for ecosearch... Maybe something like

Code:

http://www.ecoresults.info/search.php?q=

Or you can try this trick if you already have ecosearch as part of the search bar.
