While I enjoy the capability of selecting a search engine as I see fit, I would prefer that my local drives take precedence. Is there an easy way to enable this for everyday casual use? In other words, can I specify "search local drives first, followed by the web i.e. casting a wider net to search on the world wide web, and an arbitrary third placeholder such as foreign sources (example only) or foreign news items (again, fictitious example)

Google is a suggested search engine, as soon as I move my cursor below the main search bar. I looked up how to remove a suggested search engine: menu->settings->search->check a selected search engine to remove. I followed those steps until I got to the search engine selection; google was NOT a checked search engine. Anybody have ideas I can try? I use win10, with duckduckgo as my default search.

Bonjour, lorsque je tape un mot dans la barre de recherche, le moteur de recherche google (qui est definit comme moteur de recherche par default) m'affiche les sites qu'il a trouvé, et de suite après, la recherche se relance automatiquement avec une adresse https://eesrchrdr.com/... avant de basculer sur http://fr.search.yahoo.com/... et m'affiche les recherche effectué par yahoo. Je ne comprend pas pourquoi le moteur de recherche google qui est selectionné dans les parametres se fait automatiquement remplacer par yahoo.

Hello, When I type a word in the search bar, the Google search engine (which is set as the default search engine) shows me the sites it found, and immediately afterward, the search automatically restarts with the address https://eesrchrdr.com/... before switching to http://fr.search.yahoo.com/... and shows me the searches performed by Yahoo. I don't understand why the Google search engine selected in the settings is automatically replaced by Yahoo.

I switched my default search engine from Google to Bing. As you can see in the attached screenshot, it should be searching with Bing. But for some reason the search results are always Google. How do I fix this? I haven't refreshed Firefox yet. I was hoping to avoid that.
