When I search in Startpage.com I get a bar saying the page isn't there or I misspelled the URL. I'm just searching with subject, not putting in a URL to go to. I followed the direction in Mozilla for installing Startpage. In order to find what I need, I have to go directly to Startpage.com to find it. Why is this happening and what do I do about it?

As of the last update, my search engine changed to google. I've disabled google search in tools and have yahoo listed as first and duck duck go as 2nd. Still, in the search bar, all I get is google as the search engine. I've tried all the 'fixes' I've found on the web and none have worked. There's not a way to get rid of google in the list Mozilla tools/search gives.

No way to properly search history on Android

Hi - I initially googled this issue and found that it's already been raised several times on these forums and received a response along the lines of "This is a feature, not a bug" and marked as solved - but respectfully, it's a downright awful feature, and I believe it ought to be resolved.

Trying to search for specific items in browser history on Android is functionally useless. Rather than displaying a complete list of all webpages that match the search term in reverse chronological order, like it does when searching History on Desktop, it shows a seeming random selection of "suggestions" plucked from your history across all of time.

E.g.: When searching "https://support.mozilla.org", it doesn't show literally any of the dozens of pages I've been looking at on these forums for the past half hour, but instead six different suggested iterations of the same info page I last visited years ago.

There have been countless times now where I, for example, will try to search for this very thread next week, too far to manually scroll back through all my history, and be unable to find it because all that comes up are irrelevant "suggestions." Instead, I have to open up my laptop and search for the page in the browser history there, *then* (if it's, say, a recipe I wanted to have on my phone while I cook) send it *back* to my phone!

It's incredibly frustrating and is really making me want to uninstall the Firefox app and go back to Chrome.

I did a search and when it didn't return results in the current folder I hit enter/return again and it searches everywhere. The results from this extended search produces clips from the numerous emails it found. If I then click on "show results as a list" it has always in the past condensed the results to a list. However, this time it no longer has the search text in the filter line and says "no message found"

Qwant

Qwant needs adding to the search options, when I try to manually add it, it won't let me. Qwant is now the EU search engine so it desperately needs adding.

Hello. I have several saved search folders in Thunderbird. These are all tax related. The searches are run against my local archived emails and are mostly searches against specific received dates (my tax year). I have found several of the searches are duplicating the results of the search. When I check the folders I am searching within, there are no duplicate emails. I was wondering if anybody else has run in to this problem. Deleting the searches and starting over does not fix the problem.

Hi, It's now impossible to add lilo.org search engine in firefox mobile for my new android device (android 16, firefox 155.0.1). Now when I try to add it (please check screenshot), I have an error message : "Check that search string matches Example format" The query string is https://search.lilo.org/?q=%s and on my previous android device (Android 13, firefox mobile 155.0.1) I still have it setup as the default search engine, and I just tried to add it again on this device and I don't have this blocking error message. Thanks in advance for your support, Regards, Stéphane
