Is there a way to set "Google By Name" as the default search engine? I have tried changing keyword.URL but still it doesn't work.

I have changed (had to add the string so maybe the preference has changed?) keyword.URL to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=, but when I try to enter "youtube", it still tries to load http://youtube/, not http://youtube.com. Whereas, on my desktop firefox entering youtube would take me to youtube.

Is it possible to get this working?

被選擇的解決方法

Note that keyword.URL is no longer used in Firefox 22, so you can no longer use this to set the search engine used by the location bar. The search engine selected in the search bar will now be used.

Did you modify any of the "fixup" preferences?

There was a similar thread a while ago. It's marked solved, but I don't think we got to the bottom of what caused the problem. URL fixup not working

more options

Mine are set to:

  • browser.fixup.alternate.prefix = www.
  • browser.fixup.alternate.suffix = .com

The person asking that question appears to have their problem fixed by updating to v20, I'm on 21.0a1 and it doesn't appear to work.

Also, typing "you tube" on android takes me to a google search, but on desktop it takes me straight to youtube, so I'm not sure it's using browse by name.

EDIT: Apologies, I meant to type 24.0a1, not 21.0a1

Historically, Firefox always submitted a multi-word search ("you tube") to Google but tried a single-word search ("youtube") as a domain name before resorting to search. However, it doesn't seem as predictable any more...

This article lists a couple of different keyword.URL strings for Google which may give different results... http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.URL

Ok so I tried changing it to Bing and it stuck with Google. Looking at the addons page I realised Google search was enabled, so I disabled that. Now it has no predictions and the search function doesn't work at all, it says the address isn't valid.

What URL did you use for Bing? This thread has some example URLs you could try: search engines...

I used http://bing.com/results.aspx?q= with no luck.

The Bing URL works for me. I'm searching from the Awesomebar in Firefox Mobile 21.0 (released version). Not sure why yours isn't working. What is 21.0a1?

One thing you can try is to remove the search program you are having trouble with, then getting a fresh program.
