I used to have Firefox to use Google’s Browse by Name feature, but since I reinstalled my box I never got around to reconfiguring it. To do so yourself follow these instructions:
- Navigate to about:config in Firefox.
- Use the filter feature to find keyword.url.
- Modify the preference and replace the default value with
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Thanks to the Ubuntu Blog for this!
Anyway after configuring it I found a bug #84242, how cool is that bug number?
Personally I prefer setting firefox to use http://yubnub.org/ as the default search engine.
Cool, might have to give that a try.
