Mozilla added a function to search on the web in the latest versions
of Thunderbird.That's nice, but the default search engine is bing. As
a DuckDuckGo user, I wanted to add my favourite search engine and use
it by default. So here's how to do it.
-
Find your profile folder.
-
In it, create a folder named "searchplugins" (without the quotes)
if it doesn't exists.
-
Save
this xml
file in it.
- (Re)start Thunderbird.
-
Select some text in any mail, right clic and search with bing
(sorry).
- Click the DuckDuckGo icon on the left.
- Click the heart icon on the bottom left.
- That's all!
To add google, add
this file in the
same folder.
