What would be the format to add Startpage.com to the search list?
I tried adding https://www.startpage.com/%s with initial "s" but when I invoke search as "s something" it reverts to google.

Just go to Startpage.com, right click on the search box, "Create search engine...".

Ok, thanks. I did that and it opened the dialog to create it with prefix st. I had a previous entry with prefix s for startpage, so I deleted that one and then changed the new entry to use s as the prefix, then closed the dialog.

I did a sample search for "s geeks" and it brought up google.
So I did a "st geeks" and it brought up startpage, even tho I had set the startpage prefix to s, not st.

I think I'm confused now.

What keyword the search engine manager says that is being used?

Ok-you caught me. It contains st. Damnit, I was sure I had it set to s, but I probably didn't see the Save button on the bottom before I exited. My Bad!
And thanks.
