I had a play with it again
Just changing google to duckduckgo didn't work for me either. I don't know why - I'm no expert
I experimented with various things and this worked for me, so give this a try:
Keep everything else the same in the instructions, but change the template part of the code at the end to read:
Code: Select all
<os:Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="https://duckduckgo.com/{searchTerms} site:forums.linuxmint.com">
</os:Url>
</SearchPlugin>
Restart Firefox.
I don't think it's a
great search result - for me, it misses some things like the original "Mint forums" search did.
If someone else comes up with a better solution, please post it.
Oh, and because I kept the Mint forums (google) search engine as well .... for the duckduckgo example above, I also changed the line in the code - towards the top:
Code: Select all
<os:ShortName>Mint Forums</os:ShortName>
to
Code: Select all
<os:ShortName>Mint Forums - duckduckgo</os:ShortName>
so I knew which was which in the dropdown list of search engines.
