I got up this morning and found that my search engine has been
switched to "duckduckgo".
No matter what I switched to for search in preferences, duckduckgo
came up as a search engine.
I went to the screen under search engine precedence, and moved
duckduckgo down to last. It still came up as my search engine.
Finally, I deleted it from the list of available search engines under
preferences and that got rid of it (for that user profile in SM).
Reading up on this subject, it appears I may have updated or installed
something, and didn't see a box checked to make duckduckgo my default
search engine (my bad). But there isn't a good explanation how to get
rid of it completely (says to uninstall the app but doesn't give a
good idea what that app is).
I notice my other SM profiles still come up with duckduckgo as search
engine. Any ideas (besides deleting that as an available search
engine in each profile)?
Running SM 2.46, W10, adblock plus, noscripts, and Norton Security Suite.
#1. It is the default search engine for SeaMonkey.
#2. Although I couldn't change it using "Manage Search Engines" under
Edit > Preferences > Internet Search. I could change it using Customize,
adding the Search Bar, changing it to another search engine (Google for
this test), entered a search term in the address bar and it used Google.
#3. Clicking the Search button used Google.
#4. Moving the Search Bar back to Customize, search still uses Google.
#5. Reset it back to DuckDuckGo for privacy reasons.
