How do I add a search engine?

Safari features Google and Yahoo as search engines. Is it possible to add my favourite search engine to them? If so, how?

No, it is not possible. These search engine are build in Safari executable file. However you can have your own search engines made as Bookmaklets: https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/

  • In FF4 the opensearch detection does not seem to work. how can I add a search engine , that has an opensearch xml but no plugin?

    if you go to a webpage with an opensearch link tag like "<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml...." FF3.x highlighted the small arrow left of the search box and you could add the search engine. this does not seem to work in FF4.
    If a searchengine for example for the intranet, does not offer a plugin, just the opnesearch xml, how can one add it to the search engines in FF4?

    You do not get the blue glow on the search engine icon in Firefox 4, but you should still see the "Add ... site" entry in the menu if you click the search engines icon on the Navigation Toolbar.

  • How do I add a search engine to the search bar from a hard disk file?

    I want to add a search engine to the search bar from an XML file on my hard disk. "Manage Search Engines" from the search bar drop down list only appears to allow adding search engines from web sites.
    Thanks.

    Hmmm. This didn't work. I even re-booted, and Firefox still doesn't show the search engine.
    It was actually an update to an earlier engine, and I foolishly removed the old version rather than just updating it.
    Is there anything elsewhere (eg. the registry) that might be preventing this?

  • How can I add a search engine to Safari in Mavericks?

    Safari only gives me three choices for a search engine:
       Google
       Yahoo
       Bing
    I would like it to default to StartPage, or maybe even Duck Duck Go.
    How do I add sites to the drop down menu?

  • How Do I Add A Search Engine Not Listed Under the Mycroft Project??

    I just installed Firefox 12.0 last night. All I want to do now is add www.Gibiru.com to the Search Engine Manager, delete Google & make Gibiru my default search. There is no add-on or plug-in at the Gibiru webpage & it doesn't come up under the Mycroft Project search. Why can't I open Gibiru.com in the Firefox browser & click a button under Options or Search Manager to make that page my default search? Firefox claims to be so 'fast & flexible', but it's functionality stinks compared to MSIE.

    The easy answer is to install an extension such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-to-search-bar/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-to-search-bar/]. Then, whenever you go to a website, you can just right click the search field and choose to add it to your search bar
    Unfortunately, it seems that website doesn't support an even easier method of adding a search engine, detailed at [[Search bar#w_while-visiting-a-website|While visiting a website]]. But, for other websites, you can use that technique.

  • How do I add a search engine of my own choice (i.e one which is not available among the "Manage Search Engines" add-ons) to the Search Engine Box dropdown?

    I'm running Firefox 6 on Windows XP

    Glad it worked. Thanks for posting back.
    You may note there are some changes coming up with Firefox's searches. In Fx23 whatever you set in the search bar is also used for other searches, so you may get unexpected videos showing up from the address bar.
    Further in the future, probably Fx25 the navigation and search bar are being combined. Then there is talk of a new concept of search tabs.
    Computer technology always changes. Moore's law gives ever more computing power but someone always finds a new feature or facility that becomes a must have essential and eats up all the power.

  • How to add a search engine manually to Firefox. (No, not via add ons)

    How to add a search engine manually to Firefox?
    For example, what should I do add a custom search engine? It is not available via add-ons. When I go to the search page, Firefox doesn't detect it and it doesn't prompt me or allow me to add it as a search provider. I am looking for options similar to that in Chromium browser.
    let's say for instance, if I want to add redhat bugzilla to my search providers, I can go to search settings and just add https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=%s
    Is there any similar option available in Firefox?

    I use these;
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-to-search-bar/ Add to Search Bar]''' {web link}
    Make any pages' search functionality available in the Search Bar
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
    Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
    installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
    you want to use for each search.
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchthissite/ SearchThisSite]''' {web link}
    Allows you to search the website currently viewed with
    the website's internal search engine (and not the default
    FF search engine or an external engine)

    You can also add any search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:

    Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.

  • Running Firefox 10.0.2, cannot add new search engines from Mycroft Project. Error message: "you will need a browser which supports opensearch to install this plugin" Please help with steps on how to fix this issue in Firefox, thank you

    Can't add new search engines from Mycroft Project in FF 10.0.2. Error message states: "you will need a browser which supports opensearch to install this plugin"

    You're welcome.
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar?

    Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar whenever I visit websites that suggest to us to add their search engines?
    I searched a lot and couldn't find any help. How to stop websites from suggesting to my Firefox search bar to add their search engines? I don't want to add other search engines other than the ones I organized. I don't want my list to look more distracting and longer.

    Firefox doesn't do that. That's either a feature of the website you are visiting or possible Malware on that PC.
    A screenshot of that might be helpful. <br />
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem <br />
    It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
    Then use the '''Browse ....''' button below the '''''Post a Reply''''' text box to upload the screenshot.

  • How do you change the search engine used in the address bar?

    I use the address bar to search, instead of the actual search bar field. Why? It's easier. Or, it used to be. It used to use Google. Now it's using Yahoo!. This is unacceptable. Haha. How do I change which search engine is used in the ADDRESS bar?

    had this problem after accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar along with an adobe product. Firstly, tried to remove it control panel in add/remove programmes but it refused to uninstal. Since then was told by technicians of my ip to use Revo uninstaller the free ed. Next step was go to tools then options. On the general tab, at the bottom you will find manage-add-ons. under search provider do not want. f yahoo is still there disable it.
    Also go to internet options in control panel and set up there too. Be sure to find and tick the option that other search engines cannot change yours. Be sure to set the appropriate home page.

  • How can I remove the search engine called White smoke

    I unintentionally added the white smoke toolbar. After successfully deleting the toolbar, the search engine remains. How can I take this search engine off my computer?

    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    You can do a search on the <b>about:config</b> page for prefs that are referring to the White smoke server/domain and reset them via the right-click context menu.

  • How to change the default search engine? I accidentaly change it from google to yahoo, and I can't get it back. I changed my homepage too, but it isn't solved. Thanks

    dear, there.
    how to change the default search engine? I accidentaly change it from google to yahoo, and I can't get it back. I changed my homepage to google too, but it isn't solved. Thanks

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.
