Is there a way to add Bing to the search engine preference so it can be
set as default?
You could modify one of the seamonkey/searchplugins .src files to use bing.
Note here is the message you receive in SM 2 when you attempt to load
Bing add on:
Sorry, you need a Mozilla-based browser (such as Firefox) to install a
search plugin. According to MS apparently SeaMonkey isn't a mozilla product.
I didn't say add a Bing add-on; I stated "You could modify one of the
seamonkey/searchplugins .src files to use bing". Look in the folder that
I mentioned& you'll see the .src files for the search engine plugins.
Here's one:
# Mozilla/Google plug-in by [email protected]
<search
name="Google"
description="Google Search"
method="GET"
action="http://www.google.com/search";
update="http://www.google.com/mozilla/google.src";
updateCheckDays=1
queryEncoding="utf-8"
queryCharset="utf-8"
<input name="q" user>
<inputnext name="start" factor="10">
<inputprev name="start" factor="10">
<input name="ie" value="utf-8">
<input name="oe" value="utf-8">
<interpret
browserResultType="result"
charset = "UTF-8"
resultListStart="<!--a-->"
resultListEnd="<!--z-->"
resultItemStart="<!--m-->"
resultItemEnd="<!--n-->"
</search>
Copy and modify that to adjust for Bing& you're good to go.
Heck, you guys do more with chrome mods, user.js mods etc., for your
fancy themes than the few minutes it would take to do a bing.src file&
add a bing.gif. Then to change the default, all you really need to do is
change your browser search preferences to use Bing instead of whatever.
I've read they are supposed to be getting away from src 's and strictly
addons .
I've worked around the problem I've just gone to Bing site the dragged
and dropped on to bookmarks bar I'll wait for the people to make the
Bing add on work for SM 2 if not I can use it anyway.
