I like to edit a searchengine plugin. Had my modified google search results only for the last year. cant edit anymore
In former days I could double click on a search engine and edit it. This has gone.
Only adding new and deleting searchengines now possible . A long time ago I could just edit entries in /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/searchplugins/locale/.
for example (like in chrome now) : engine name: jahr URL: {google:baseURL}search?q=%s&tbs=qdr:y Best regards hhgoten

No idea what you mean, please expand or mark this as Solved. Confusing.
Do you mean this thread?
Own xml files in searchplugins folder not detected
Since that time, Firefox started encrypting the search.json file using LZ4 encryption. I have a tool to read out its contents, but not to recompress it, so most likely manually editing the file will not be a convenient workaround.
If you want to create and install "date range" Google search plugins, I have a tool from a couple years ago here, but it's for google.com, it doesn't know about different locales (yet): https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/googletime.php

Jscher, thank you very much !
On mycroft there is : "GoogleDate1Year (google.com) " This is exactly what I wanted and could create in former Versions of firefox. Nevertheless, I'd like do know how to do it myself. Have you any hints ? Else its ok, I'm just curious. Best Regards.
@Jscher2000 Thanks again. You gave me the key to solve my Problem. I could modify "GoogleDate1Year (google.com) " for me to use www.google.de , search date: last year
mycroft site was really a good advice Regards Waldi Berlin Germany
