How do I use search engine keywords?

I'd like to be able to define the search engine to use within the search box. For example, typing "google: firefox help" searches firefox help via Google, and "yahoo: firefox help" searches the same thing via Yahoo. Is this possible? I assume that's what the search engine keywords (in the search engine manager) are for, but I can't figure out how to use them.

I use the keyword on Firefox 4 address bar, not on the search bar. It works!

How to set another search engine in safari?

hi all
can anybody tell how to set another search engine than google/yahoo in safari (e.g. Bing)?
thank you

At this stage, I don't know of any workarounds (or available plugins) for Safari for Windows 4.0.4 that allow you to put a different search engine option in the search field.
The workaround I've been using is to pin a Bing window into my Top Sites.
You can send an enhancement request to Apple about it. Although it doesn't look to be set up for it, if you bring up your Menu Bar and go "Help > Report bugs to Apple", you can use that bug report form to ask for enhancements. I was skeptical about that to begin with, but apparently they check that for feature enhancement requests, according to the following document. (It's mentioned right down the very bottom.)

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)

How to change what search engine the adress bar uses when typing in a search to something that isn't Google

I currently left all Google services I used, Gmail, Chrome, etc.. because of the recent selling info to the gov and what not and although it may or may not be true I am being safe and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. Anyway so far I like Firefox I am using DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would like to use it as my search engine when I type in a search in the address bar, by default it's Google how do I change it to a search provider I want to like DuckDuckGo?

Hello,
If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:
# Type '''about:config''' in the address bar.
# A warning appears, click "I'll be careful, I promise!"
# Type '''browser.search.defaultEngine''' in the search box at the top of the page.
# Double-click the item that appears.
# Set the value to '''DuckDuckGo''' or whatever search engine that you would like to use (case sensitive I think).
(I have attached a screenshot).

Search Engine keyword.url, URL

How would I figure out what the search engine's URL is if I wanted to add it to the keyword.url? I know the main search engine's URL's for keyword.url, but what if I wanted to use another search engine in the awesome bar that isn't popular?

You can right-click the search bar on the page and use add a keyword for this search to create a bookmark for that particular search engine to see its URL.
Then you can use that URL without the %s parameter for the keyword.URL pref (reorder the GET parameter is the query parameter is not the last).

How to Change the Search Engine in Safari?

How can I change the Search engine?
I want to use google instead of Genieo. Everytime I open Safari it automatically redirect to Genieo and it really ******* me off! >_<

Back up all data, then remove the "Genieo" spyware by following the instructions on this page.
Some versions of the spyware may not be completely removed by those instructions. If you still have problems, do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
Then reboot.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extension you don't recognize. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How to Add Meta Search Description & Keywords in Flex3

How to add meta search data & key words for the page in flex3.
ms

Content is what you add to your page. The visible part your visitors can see.
Keywords have to be added with [a META tag in the HEAD|http://www.google.com/search?q=meta%20tag%20head] of the webpage. That cannot be done in iWeb. You have to edit the published pages with a HTML Editor of your choice.
It's debatable whether these keywords have any impact on being found by a Search Engine.
Provide good content.

How do you get search engines to find you

I'm creating my site for a client that wants to be the top of the lists when someone types in certain keywords. How can i do this? Pay for it? Free?
Someone told me to put as much information in a hidden text box on the homepage....
Thanks!
Kara

Whomever told you to hide text is leading you down the wrong path. Doing dirty tricks like that may help you in the extremely short term but the bigger search engines are smart enough to figure out what you're doing. Dirty tricks are a great way to get your site banned from the search engines.
The best way to get good results is to make sure all important text is actually text on the page (not images), have fresh content (blogs are great examples of this, they tend to do well on search engines), and find good ways to get other sites to link back to your site (link farms are not what I'm talking about but think along the lines of reviews, interviews, forum signature posts, etc.).
Be very wary of people telling you they can guarantee you first page results in search engines. They may do that for a short while but search engines are constantly evolving and can drop you as quickly—if not quicker—than pick you up.
It takes time to get a site in the top rankings but there are other methods out there that are better in the long run.
