Can I change the default search engine from Google? I like Google, but I use dogpile which searches 14_ engines including Google. So I want to set http://www.dogpile.com/ as my search engine.

thanks
Abe

Use the following preference in prefs.js

user_pref("kmeleon.general.searchEngine", "http://www.google.com/search?q="winking smiley;


Change from google to the search engine you would like to use. Note that it needs to be in the format required by the search engine. Do a search and copy the url, removing the search string. The search string will be added to the end, so this field needs to be at the end of the url when it is entered above.
