Hi,

I was just trying to add a search engine to the standard list in the preferences menu. I was not sure as to the correct way to input information in the box that asks for it. Can anyone explain how to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I will explain that on an example (bbc.com search)

1. Go to bbc.com
2. Type 'test' in the search box
3. Address field result is (http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=test)
4. Replace 'test' with '%s' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=%s) and copy to clipboard
5. Now go to Preferences and press 'Manage search engines' -> 'Add new search' button
6. Paste 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=%s' into "Address" field
7. Chose "Name" and "Keyword" for your new search
8. Click 'Save' button

Done
