I messed up the search thing

Hi everyone. A while back I was messing with the search thing by trying to change my search engine on Comodo IceDragon and I managed to mess it up where I can no longer search by typing a keyword into the address bar and pressing enter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Comodo IceDragon but that did not fix it. Please help me fix this!

Welcome to the forum.

It sounds like you’ve broken keywork.url. If so, here’s a fix:

  1. Open CID and in the address bar type about:config
  2. In the search bar type keyword.URL
  3. Double click the entry and in the dialogue hat pops up enter one of the following:

Google - Google
Bing - Bing
Ixquick - Startpage - Private Search Engine. No Tracking. No Search History.
Yahoo! - Yahoo Search - Web Search
DuckDuckGo - DuckDuckGo — Privacy, simplified.

Personally, I use - Omnibar :: Add-ons for Firefox which does away for the need for Keyword.URL
