I want to use Google for my default search engine within Thunderbird. So i searched the support site and found this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-search-engine-open-search#thunderbird:win10:tb52

as instructed i copied the xml file to my profile, and deleted the file search.json.mzlz4 from the profile. i restarted thunderbird and, it didn't work. so i double checked and yes, the google.xml file is in the profile, and yes, the search.json.mzlz4 file was gone. restarted it, and it did still did not work. no google in the search engine dropdown.

i searched the support site again, and found a post from a year ago where someone had the same problem. they were advised to download the google search plugin at: 

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/installing-addon-thunderbird

So i did as instructed, and tried to install from a file. i got a message in red at the top of the screen:

Google search for thunderbird could not be installed because it is not compatible with thunderbird 60.


so here we are. is there no way to install google as the dafault search engine within thunderbird?

At the moment, the only way to add Google as a search option is to perform the steps you already did with TB 52, then install TB 60.

It looks as though I can't roll back to TB 52. No clear way exists to find a download for it. I (too) can't install the Google plugin until this is done.

The link to TB 52 is in my first reply. You may encounter some add-on issues when moving back and forth between a TB 60 profile and a TB 52 profile.
