easier file-driven method to set search engine preferences

cor-el replied
scripterr

I would like to customize search engine preferences via config file; this is similar to what is doable with user.js for most other settings. Since search engine preferences are compressed as search.json.lz4, this become more challenging.

Is there any way to get "no Bing, yes Duck Duck Go" (for example) via a config file?

You can probably do that by using JavaScript in mozilla.cfg to directly use the SearchService (Services.search)

The settings you are interested in are:

lockPref( 'browser.search.hiddenOneOffs', 'Google,Yahoo,Bing' )

 */
unlockPref( 'browser.search.defaultenginename.US' )
defaultPref( 'browser.search.defaultenginename.US', 'data:text/plain,browser.search.defaultenginename.US=DuckDuckGo' )

lockPref( 'keyword.URL', 'https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=!+' )

Here is an older thread about search engines.

Maybe contact Mike Kaply to see if he has suggestions.
