Yandex search engine in the moss. Google's default installation options for Mozilla Firefox

Mazila Firefox, then you know that changing the default search engine is not so easy. Just want to clarify, I mean the search directly from the address bar of the browser. Actually, how to change the default search in Mozilla firefox, and will be discussed in this article.

The fact is that the search can be performed using two methods:

In the upper right corner of Mazila there is a special search window, where you can select the desired search engine from the drop-down list.

And you can also search by entering the query directly into the address bar of the browser, this is where we will change the search engine.

Of course, you could not bother, and just use the first method, but it is all about the habit. For example, it is more convenient for me to use the browser's address bar.

By the way, this article may be useful to you in the future, even if the search engine, which is listed by default, you are completely satisfied. The fact is that some programs when installed are embedded in the browser, and can easily replace your favorite search engine with “it is not clear what.”

Procedure

1)   Launch your browser, type “about: config” in the address bar and press Enter. After that, a message will appear in which it will be said that incorrectly changing the settings can lead to disastrous consequences (I told the meaning of this message in my own words).

If you have not changed your mind to continue, feel free to click the button “I promise I'll be careful!”.

2)   A huge number of settings will appear on your screen, but do not be afraid of this, since we will use the search to facilitate finding the item we need. Immediately I will explain one thing, this is not the search that is called Ctrl + F, the page will have its own search bar.

Enter this search string   “Keyword.URL”. The list will immediately remain just one item (you do not even need to press Enter).

3)   Click on this line. right click   mouse click and select “edit”.

Then you will need to enter a value, and click Ok.

This is how these values ​​look for the two most popular search engines:

For Yandex: “http://yandex.ru/yandsearch?text=”.

For Google: “http://www.google.com/search?q=”.

If you regularly update your browser (as a rule it happens in automatic mode), then you will not find the line “ Keyword.URL ”. The fact is that in the new versions of Mazila the search engine changes differently.

In this screenshot you can clearly see how, where and what you need to click. There is a window to the right of the browser’s address bar. When you click on a small triangle, a drop-down list appears. Choose from this list the desired search engine.

For a start, what is the “default search engine”. In many browsers in order to find information on the Internet for a long time no need to first remember and enter the address of the search engine, and then on the search page to enter a search request. Now everything is simple - typed the search phrase in the same Mozilla FireFox, pressed the Enter button, and get the search results right away!

But this is where the main trouble arises. For example, I used to use the search from google.com, but some stubborn infection reconfigured the search to automatically use something like poisk.urypinsk.ws, which I absolutely do not like!

Here's how to change the automatic search "by default" and I will tell in this article.

Mozilla firefox

Attention!    Some additions ( for example, Yandex. Bar or [email protected]) block the default search engine change. Therefore, to successfully change the search engine, you must first go to the menu at the top left of “Firefox” -\u003e “Add-ons” (or press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+A) and selecting the “Extensions” tab in the opened window to disable everything that is possible.

To change the default search in Mozilla Firefox, follow these steps:

Launch Firefox, and in the address bar type about: config   and click " Enter". A warning will appear on the screen that hand curves and inattention can cause firefox to break. If you are confident in your abilities - feel free to press the button " I promise I'll be careful!«

In the address bar, type without quotes ‘about: config’ and press Enter

After that you will see a long list of settings. On the left of the name, on the right - the values. Need to find a setting with the name keyword.URL   which is responsible for searching directly from the address bar. For this it is enough in the field " Filter»Enter the name of the setting ( keyword.URL).

Open the default search settings ...

After you find the desired line - double-click on the name. And when the window with the search bar opens, enter a new one there.

If you want to see google.com:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=

If you like Yandex:

Everyone likes something different. All use different browsers and prefer their own settings. Imposing default search parameters by developers software   do not like many users.

However, you have to use what is given in order not to give up your favorite browser.

Fortunately, each program allows you to change your search settings. After reading the article, you will learn how to do it, after which you will be able to use the system that suits you the most.

The problem also occurs when installing many games and applications, the installer which is designed for the carelessness of the user. Hundreds of programs install plugins of different systems and embed them in your browser, thereby changing the search engine.

What gives us a search through Google

The Google search engine does not contain anything extra, unlike its competitor, where there are too many applications and functionality. This search engine is not limited to the Russian-speaking population and can easily find information anywhere in the world in any language.

The search function in Google is very convenient and allows you to set all sorts of criteria, such as:

1. region;
2. date of publication;
3. resource where you need to find information;
4. criteria for excluding words from a search phrase or vice versa increasing the influence of a word in a sentence;
5. the ability to display information on keywords in the description of video files, images, locations and maps, as well as in libraries and add-ons.

In addition, the search engine functionality provides the ability to instantly translate web pages into hundreds of languages. And you can always choose the one that is most convenient for you. If your request is different from the system language and location you specified or defined by the system, Google will offer you a translation of the phrase.

To control the search, you can use a microphone or on-screen keyboard, which is very convenient when using touch screens or additional media devices, such as a TV or game console.

We do with

Due to the high speed of work and high-quality selection of the found pages, as well as the built-in check of resources for viruses and malicious code, users really like the search engine from Google. The most frequently asked question is: is it possible to make Google a default search in Mozilla Firefox, because this browser is very popular.

Search strings

Unlike many other browsers, Firefox has a convenient search string. Today, every surfing program on the Internet allows you to do this directly from the address bar, and many people question its necessity.

In this line, you can select the required search engine from the list, which includes the most famous and popular ones. In addition, it is possible to find goods in one of the largest chain stores. And yet, if you want to add a special system, you can use the "Manage search plugins" and add the necessary or remove unnecessary.

Google generally participates in this list by default and can be selected. However, the failure or installation of add-ons may affect its composition. In order to return your favorite search engine to the site, you need to manage the search plug-ins to press the "Restore default set" button.

Firefox Settings Editor

Firefox allows you to edit the settings at the system administrator level with the command: "about: config". It must be entered in the address bar in order to open a list of commands to control hidden browser options.

Since this mode allows you to change critical parameters for the program, you need to confirm your intentions and caution.

By completing exactly the default changes, Google will be installed.

Buttons open menu

You can set the desired settings for the default search through the "Open Menu" button, in the upper left corner in the form of three bars.

Here you can come from two sides:

Tools menu item

Another way to change the default search settings is to use the browser settings. This standard method was used in older versions, when the address bar was not yet “smart”.

To perform this operation, you must perform the following steps:

1. bring up the menu bar in the Firefox browser. To do this, click the button "Alt"   on keyboard;
2. choose "Instruments"   and in the dropdown list "Settings";
3. in the control panel go to settings "Search";
4. the functionality allows you to connect or disconnect the system search strings, select one of them by default or restore the settings and return to the initial list.

If the browser from Yandex

The Internet version of the Firefox browser from Yandex is widely distributed. This is a program specially created and adapted for yandex.ru. It is crammed with built-in plug-ins, system functions and an appropriate search.

Unfortunately, in this version, none of these methods does not work. According to the developers, this is done for security from changing the search engine without the knowledge of the user. Whatever you do with the default search in such a browser, it will still remain Yandex.

Use firefox browseror rather, a clean version of it from the company Mozilla. Choose what plugins to install and what search engines to use. If some program changes the settings, now you can easily return to your favorite search engine.

In Firefox 34, Mozilla significantly transformed its browser's search interface by implementing a new UI for the search bar. This decision   then it seemed to many too hasty, since the new interface was initially deprived of a number of features, including changing the order of search engines or setting keywords to speed up the search.

These and other features began to gradually return only in subsequent releases of the browser. In turn, users who considered the previous version of the interface more convenient, until recently, could use the browser.search.showOneOffButtons option, which was available on the about: config service page.

Indeed: in version 43, Mozilla made a number of improvements to its new search, and at the same time turned off the return to the old version.

Restore Firefox Classic Search

If you like exactly the classic search interface in Firefox, you should know that you can still restore it, but now you will have to use one of the auxiliary extensions. Alas, simply changing any settings since Firefox 43 is not enough.

One of the first extensions, the developers of which offered to return the classic search, was the notorious Classic Theme Restorer.

This module has gained popularity in those days when the new Australis interface was introduced into the “fire fox”, allowing users to return to the old style. Since then, Classic Theme Restorer has grown significantly in terms of functionality, and more recently has learned how to return the classic look of the search bar to Firefox.

So, in order to return the previous view to the built-in search box in Firefox, you need to do the following:

1. Download and install the Classic Theme Restorer extension from the official Mozilla catalog;
2. Open the main menu and click on the "Add-ons" button or type "about: addons" in the address bar;
3. Go to the "Extensions" section;
4. Find the Classic Theme Restorer in the list of installed modules and click the Settings button;
5. In the settings window, switch to the “Primary Interface (1)” section;
6. Check the box next to “Old search”;
7. Click the OK button at the bottom.

That's all. Now you have a classic search interface:

Return the current version, you can simply uncheck the above item.

Important:   after installation, the module will immediately change the look of your Firefox to more old versionthat was before Australis. You should not be scared: you can return Australis (rounded tabs and other interface details) if you wish, in just a few clicks. To do this, in the Classic Theme Restorer options window, click on the “settings” button and select “Firefox Presets”, then restart the browser.
