I would like to set my searches to search USA only sites.

Hello Cherdog,

Assuming that you're using Google as your search engine; you could start by checking your region setting :

https://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en-NL&fg=1

(if you had to change anything; don't forget to press the blue "Save" button at the bottom)

Or you could choose a Google plugin here :

https://mycroftproject.com/google-search-plugins.html

(you'll have to scroll way down)

I do not use google. I am using Mozilla/Firefox

Firefox is not a search engine; it's a browser ....

If you don't use Google : what is your default search engine  ?

See : 3-bar menu (or Tools) => Options => Search

Search Engine is DuckDuckGo.

Search Engine is DuckDuckGo.

Would you please check the settings here :

https://duckduckgo.com/settings

If changing the settings doesn't work for you, you could
try one of these :

https://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html?name=duckduckgo.com

(you'll have to scroll way down)

I have check the settings, they are set to United States.

I am not sure which settings to change to from the link you sent for https://mycroftproject.com

And yet you don't get US search results  ?

I am not sure which settings to change to from the link you sent for https://mycroftproject.com

This link is not about changing settings, but about downloading a DuckDuckGo search engine plugin, should your current version of the search engine fail to give you the search results you want.

Excuse my misuse of terms.

I am not sure which "DuckDuckGo search engine plugin" to download. There appears to me there is a possible choice of three or four options.

Please consider I am not by any means educated in dealing with this subject.

In case you're using one of these :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-ssl/

Or :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-for-firefox/

You could always contact the developers (see under "More information")

Thank you this solves my issue.

Thank you this solves my issue.

Really  ?

That's great  ! And was about time too, eh  ? !

Sorry it took so long to come up with a proper solution .....

For sure I am really a novice at this type of problem.

We all started that way ....

Promise me one thing though : should you find that the problem isn't solved after all, to get back here and let us know  !
