There is a drop down menu with a list of search engines to swap between. I'd like to never see this again for the rest of my life. How do i remove this from my browser?

Hello,

I am hoping someone can kindly guide me about search bar settings. Right now, I have it set up so only google and duckduckgo are available and show up as options in the firefox search bar.

However, when I am on a youtube page, suddenly the search bar has a little green plus circle on the magnifying glass in the search bar, and then offers to "add search engine youtube" to my search engines.

How can I stop this from happening? It only seems to happen when I am on the youtube page, and I have adjusted settings multiple times but it continues to appear.

Thank you very much for your help and guidance.

I was using a Quick Filter search on an inbox and sent and then decided to check the Local folders and discovered that you have to turn down each subfolder and search it separately. Is there a way to have a quick filter search subfolders?

Default search is reset to Google every time I close and reopen Firefox. How do I make Firefox remember my choices? I am setting Brave to be the default search.

Thanks!

Since version 148.0b2 (64-bit), it's once again not possible to enter search terms in the search box of a new tab; instead, the browser searches in the address bar. I've had all the settings I found in the forums configured correctly for over five years, and they haven't changed. - browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = False. Despite this, the search still occurs in the address bar. Now I'm back to the awful search in the address bar. How can I fix this? Please fix this bug as soon as possible.

Original: Set der Version 148.0b2 (64-Bit) ist es wieder nicht möglich die Suche im neuen Tap, im Suchfenster einzugeben, sonder es wird wieder im Adressfeld gesucht. Ich habe alle Einstellungen, die ich in den Foren gefunden habe schon über 5 Jahre so eingestelle, sie sind auch nicht geändert. - browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = False. Trotzdem wird die Suche im Adressfeld geführt.

Jetzt geht es aber wieder mit der Schrecklichen suchen in der Adresszeile los. Wie kann ich dies ändern? Bitte diesen Fehler (Bug) schnellst möglich beheben.

Filtering on this: adservice.google.com, in the body of messages does not work. I suspect message filters only look at headers. Is that the case?

I am able to use quick search on all of my folders EXCEPT the Sent folder and it's sub folders.

Example: When in the Inbox, I type part of someone's email and I see all the emails with that as part of the email address. BUT, when I do this for the SENT folder and any of the sub folders and nothing comes up. Even folks that I email several times a day it does not find them

When I put Thunderbird into Troubleshoot mode, the quick search works.

Another issue is when doing a global search for all folders, I will see something in sent, but when I click on it, Thunderbird does not find the email. This happens with the SENT folder only.

I have tried a few solutions, including rebuilding the Global Database and making sure this folder is part of that.

what am I missing?

Thanks for any help Chris

I set the about:config settings when I got the new computer early last year. It's been working fine. Suddenly, searches are popping up again to the urlbar.

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar is still set to false. Keyword.enabled is still set to false.

I see a couple of site references to browser.fixup.alternate.enabled, but it doesn't exist.

How do I get FF back to proper search in the search bar?

I can't use Google search, Java not running yet it was the other day, I have 'Open264' plug-in, in 'about-config' Javascript.enabled is set to 'true'- I tried toggle it and re-booted but still same.

Then, I tried in browser 'safe-mode', lo and behold that solved the problem.... why is this? What I didn't mention is before doing all this I tried Java script and that work OK.... but not Google search.

Thanks, Dave

I have been using Thunderbird for a long time, but for a few weeks/months now the search function has stopped working properly. I enter a term and don't get all the results.

I am using the version: 128.6.1esr (64-bit) Mac

Please help me

How do I filter and search for dates in an MBOX on Thunderbird? The search seems to only go through email accounts and not Local MBOX files.

FYI I am using the extension ImportExportTools NG to open the MBOX file. And this picture shows that I can Sort by Date, either newest or oldest first but that's not what I want. I want to filter to a specific range between 2 dates or search for all emails from a specific date. How I can do this?

Use case:

10 email address UNIFIED inbox 20 emails: 4 read and/or favorite and/or tagged and/or with attachment 16 NOT (the opposite)

Need to select all one which are not favorites - > they have to be archived

With Quick select there is a way to select all that has 1 or more attribute

BUT there is no way to select those which have NOT 1 or more attribute (the inverse)

The mails list can't be sorted to attribute values, attribute NEGATIVE values

Is there a way to do it?

If not: It might be quite insane logically not let the user to filter mails WITHOUT a certain attribute. There should be a button with the possibility to invert the list. Or something like that. Shift-click on quick selection buttons which negate a filter. ??? Filtering/searching means: not relevant, "relevant: Yes", "relevant: No". Today "relevant: No" is not implemented Email workflows (archiving, ...........) use NOT favorite, NOT tagged etc selections: I want to archive everything except those which are favorites, which are tagged etc.

I am searching for an email to a certain person. When I search for messages in my main folder, with the "search subfolders" checked, it searches my inbox, but it does not search my sent box. I tried rebuilding the database, but that did not fix it. What should i try?

Sometimes I need to search for specific emails, yet the results will show nil. Upon scrutiny I discovered that this only happens for emails saved in subfolders. I use IMAP on Thunderbolt Beta.

I use the Search Messages tool daily, and I have always used the keyboard shortcut Cmd-Shft-F. That shortcut seems to have been eliminated. Could it be restored?

Thanks, Ben

I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox to my iPad. I keep seeing DuckDuckGo as my browser. I want to change my search engine to Firefox but I don’t see Firefox as a listed search engine that I can choose from. Does Mozilla have its own search engine? I don’t want to use the other listed choices such as Google or Bing.

Since the last update, Firefox is not working properly. The search engine is completely dead, not working at all, and anything related to Google, like Gmail, never opens. I've tried several things, but nothing works.

Just noticed this starting yesterday. Possibly it started when Ffox updated to v144.0 and I just didn't notice immediately.

I use the address bar (location bar, awesome bar) for searching (with Google, per settings). Up until very recently, the result of hitting Enter after entering my search string would be the URL for the Google results. This can be very handy to copy; e.g., when offering citations during an online discussion.

However, I don't see the URL anymore. After pressing Enter, my original search string remains there, in the address bar. That's not what I want. Using Google means my original search string is right there at the top of the page, in an input field, that can be made active with a single keystroke. Therefore, if it is intended to be helpful by keep the contents of the address bar what they were before I pressed Enter, may I just say that it is not.

Note: I can get the old desired behavior by going to google[.]com and entering the search string there, but that's an annoyance, after years of being able to simply hit Ctrl-L.

Attached is a screenshot of what I now see. Note what's in the address bar -- my original search string. Previously, it would have been something like "https://www.google.com/search?q=this+is+a+test&sca_esv=[ ...]"
