How to replace Google with search X in Firefox (0)
April 26th, 2009 by Frank Niedermann, under Stuff.
For some reasons I wanted to replace Google with another search, like ixquick. In Firefox it’s possible to use the URL bar as search bar, by default Firefox uses Google for that. This can be changed:
Enter about:config into the URL bar and confirm that you know what you are doing.
Enter keyword into the filter field. Locate the keyword.URL attribute and double-click to edit it. Replace the Google URL with something else like http://ixquick.com/do/metasearch.pl?pl=ff&cat=web&query=
Done
In addition to that it’s possible to add ixquick to the Firefox searchbar (top right):
