Setting google or bing in as default search proble...

How to set google or bing as default search provider in web browser and search widget on N8 with Anna 022.014?
When I try to set google or bing it says that there is no search provider for my country, but every country I select I get the same message?
Reinstalled my firmware twice, tried everything but still nothing. That used to work with previous firmware but now with Anna, doesn't work.
Thanks

I am unable in February 2011 eliminating Bing as my default search engine

I have tried the previously posted methods of removing Bing as my default search engine (multiple tries) to no avail. Had been able to remove it from my laptop in other posted techniques. Just can't get rid of it on my PC. I am using the XP Pro OS on a HP workstation running MS Small Office 2007 Office suite. Have considered going to Chrome but would dearly miss my Firefox.

"Bing" has become default search engin, want "Google" back, how 2 do it.

I have "google" as my default search engine in IE preferences, USED to be in firefox also, a few days ago, "bing" shows up as search engine. I cannot find "bing" under ANY program stuff anywhere to remove it. What happened, and how do I get "google" back? Even if I type in "google" in the location bar & hit "enter' it switches back to "bing."

1)enter " about:config " in mozilla address bar
2)type "babylon" or "bing" in search box
3)reset all the search results (right-click on the result)
4)type "keyword.url" in search box
5)right click on the keyword.url - modify
6)copy &paste "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en-GB&q= " for google as default search engine

Can I set Google Maps to be the default map app?

OK, I've had enough. I thought I could live with the quirks of Apple Maps, but the other day, I was trying to get directions from Reagan airport to my hotel in DC. Although the app correcty located me at the airport, it insisted on starting the directions from *a golf course on the other side of the Potomac*. Seriously? This wasn't a tiny mistake. It couldn't figure out a major airport in a major US city. That was the last straw.
I downloaded the Google Map app, and it was wonderful. Not only did it (of course) give me the correct directions, but it even talked to me (I have an iPhone 4, which Apple has deemed unworthy of turn by turn directions).
Is there a way to make Google Maps my default Map app? so that when the OS recognizes something as an address it opens that instead of Apple Maps?

What on earth is wrong with Apple?? The ENTIRE REASON I MADE MY ORIGINAL PURCHASE WAS GOOGLE MAPS. The arrogance of they know better than the folks using their product is astonishing. I don't care what the articles say, this map debacle is killing potential iPhone sales. If they will not support MY NEEDS, I'll abandon my investment in applications as the important ones use Google maps and will be worthless anyhow. Already applications I want demand iOS 6 which I refuse to download. This phone will become an iPod and I will never again trust apple with my future. This is not the first time apple has decided for me. It's going to be the last decision you make for me. Trust.

Firefox keeps changing my default search engine to Bing. I've changed it back 20 times already. Enough is enough.

Ever since the deal went down when Firefox changed its default provider from Google, I have had to reset my default search engine back from Bing at least every other day, if not more frequent. It is maddening. It doesn't just happen on one machine either, it's happening on all of mine.
I do have Firefox sync enabled with preference sync, so is it possible Firefox sync is getting out of sync? IE every time I change it on a machine, it misses a browser, and then the browser that doesn't get changed goes out and changes all the rest back in the next sync? That's the only thing I can think of, other than Mozilla selling their souls and values and forcing Firefox users to use a search engine they hate.
If the latter is the case, I have had enough and am switching to Chrome. I can't handle having to change my default search engine back every other day. Please someone tell me there is an explanation and a fix. Thanks.

Alright, I feel like an idiot. It was from an extension I installed called InvisibleHand that I installed right around the time the Google deal with Mozilla expired, which is why I assumed the problem was a result of that.
I just checked the settings of the extension and sure enough it has an option that gets ticked by default called "InvisibleHand Search (Use InvisibleHand (powered by Bing) as my default search provider)". So I jumped the gun and blamed Firefox, my apologies.
The extension automatically shows you if an item is cheaper elsewhere while online shopping which is useful, however having that setting ticked by default is pretty skeevy.
Anyway, thanks for the response and sorry I blamed Firefox :P

Change "Bing" from the defalt search engine setting 2. How can I have snipping tool on taskbar

Can you please tell me how I can change Bing as the default search engine setting on my browser? I have checked the internet option and account setting. It doesn't seem it can be done.

Refer this :
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/change-choose-internet-explorer-search-provider#1TC=windows-7
For snipping tool :
When you open the tool, on task-bar, right click and click on Pin the program on Task bar.

Yahoo has become my default search engine. It used to be google; I want google back as my default search engine. Can you help?

Google used to be the default search engine in my FireFox setup. Now it's Yahoo. I would like to change it back to google. Can you tell me how to revert it back to google? If so, thanks.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Two or three days ago.

If anyone is having this issue, I had to change more than just the keyword.url.
Here are the steps I took:
Open Firefox and type about:config
Then I changed:
browser.search.defaultenginename to google
browser.search.defaulturl to www.google.com
keyword.url right click {reset} or set = http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Then I restarted Firefox.
Consider this another complaint against Yahoo's unclear messaging. I do use Yahoo for some things and I thought perhaps they were going to improve interoperability between services, I guess Microsoft is rubbing off on them.
Mozilla - If my elderly parents encountered this problem, they would not be able to solve it without assistance. Please consider adding this to tools -> options. I love them, but I don't need the exercise in patience

I need help on the address-bar default search.

I wish to use Google as my address-bar default search. I can put the Google address in on about:config, keyword.URL ... but each time I restart the browser, it bounces back to the Bing search.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Unable to remove Default Search Provider in the Web Browser

Hi Pros !!!
My Default search provider is automatically updated by VenteeRo Search Provider. When I try to move it it is giving me the following error :
Please find the following image.

This is normal behavior and you could not delete the default search provider. To resolve this problem, add another search provider and make it default, for example you could add Bing as your default search:
http://www.iegallery.com/Addons/Details/16523
When you click add, make sure to set it as default search engine and then open Manage Add-ons again and then delete the current search provider.

What happened to default search engine

The last time i updated Firefox, Google was no longer my default search engine. I have windows 7 and I don't have any idea how to set this back to Google again.

Which of the three "search" areas in Firefox>
* Location Bar
* Search Bar
* Search Container on the about:home default homepage

Hey ravenbird1,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to use a specific search engine.

My default search engine is Google and I deleted Bing. Whenever I open a new tab, Bing is displayed and it takes the focus so if I am trying to type a URL in the new tab, it is entered in the damn bing search box. HOW DO I GET RID OF THAT ACCURSED BING?

WHY CAN I NOT EDIT THE DEFAULT SEARCH ENGINE USED BY THE ADDRESS BAR (NOT THE SEARCH BAR NEXT TO IT) FROM BING TO GOOGLE?

I am asking this question again, because upon checking the forum for a solution I was shocked and appalled by the severe lack of grammar, punctuation and spelling I encountered while reading answers to this question. Obviously several people where to busy to actually read the question being asked and simply answered with instructions on how to change the default search engine for the search bar. SO, here I am asking the same question, why? because it still has not been answered and I myself still CANNOT find this setting anywhere. I use multiple browsers for different tasks, Chrome is KICKING the .... out of you guys Mozilla, why did you ever let your self get taken in by Micro-crack (Microsoft), if I recall correctly the inception of this program was partly motivated by the need for an alternative to the idiosyncrasies and vulnerability of Microsoft Internet Explore. This really feels like a HUGE step backwards, I would love to see a return to the days when Mozilla Firefox was and inspiration to developers and techs everywhere. And please will someone just answer the right question this time. Trust me when I say it will be obvious who does and does not read this in it's entirety.

HAHA! I have solved it! Ok here is the URL for Google, as mentioned above by bram:
"Go to About:config
Search for keyword.URL
Double click the Value entry field, and change it to the search engine you prefer"
Enter this URL for the string value
