Firefox search, search engine, custom search

This article explains how to add or remove the search engines that Firefox uses.

Firefox comes with a set of default search engines, and you can add more from websites, add-ons, or partner pages. Some users want to add fully custom search engines, but Firefox only supports this in limited cases without an add-on. This article explains what you can and can’t do, and shows the easiest ways to manage your search engines. {note}'''Note:''' Some search engines may only be available in certain regions.{/note} __TOC__ =What Firefox supports (and what it doesn’t)= *Built-in default search engines (like Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo). *Adding search engines from websites that support it. *Adding search engine add-ons from [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ addons.mozilla.org]. *Limited support for custom engines: Starting in [[Find what version of Firefox you are using|Firefox version 140]], you are able to add custom unsupported search engines in Firefox Settings.
