Change behaviour of epiphany / webbrowser url bar?
Hello everybody,
I really like the gnome webbrowser (former known as "epiphany"), but I don't like one thing:
every expression typed in the url bar (in case it's not a valid url) gets redirected to google search.
Instead of google, I would like to use startpage.com or duckduckgo.com.
Unfortunately, all workarounds I've found refer to an older version of the browser, when everything could be changed with the gconf-editor. This doesn't work anymore, as far as I know.
Of course I tried about:config
but it shows me nothing but a blank page.
Perhaps it's not possible to change this behaviour? Thanks for advices.
dconf-editor did not work for me, but thanks to one of your links (the first one), I was able to change the behaviour with
gsettings set org.gnome.Epiphany keyword-search-url https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s
in the terminal.
I could not do the same for startpage, since I could not figure out how the url should look like with startpage (the url during a startpage search remains the same all the time for me).
But this is no big problem, because a simple !s does the job with duckduckgo as well.
Many thanks!
