Re: Replace google search with another?
 

Hi guys, I was coordinating with the DuckDuckGo guys to make sure everything was ok... and it is :)

So without further ado here is the.deb file for the ddg search engine plugin for Harmattan.

Re: Replace google search with another?
 

Does anyone still have this file? Could you please host it somewhere else now that the repo is gone?

edit: I was able to simply edit the Yandex search file since I will never use it, but for some reason when I use a bang for google (!g, !gi) it takes me to a blank screen and I have to refresh to get the results. Just wanted to see if there was anything I should've done differently in the file..

to set the search engine programmatically:
/home/user/.local/share/applications/defaults.list

x-maemo-urischeme/x-web-search=web-search-OLD.desktop => x-maemo-urischeme/x-web-search=web-search-NEW.desktop

then restart the phone, or initctl restart xsession/mthome

Re: Replace google search with another?
 

to recalculate the list of available search engines, after changing/adding desktop files without restarting:
apt-get install --reinstall grob

{note that this will replace your grob binary if you normally use the one from android or whatever}

Re: Replace google search with another?
 

wolke I have no idea what you just said xD
Could someone just remake and reupload the .deb for ease of use?

Re: Replace google search with another?
 

what i wrote above is technical info about doing things in general to search engines in grob, not a Newbies Guide to Setting Up DuckDuckGo

here is a crappy attempt at such a guide:

1) take that thing i pasted above, name it web-search-duckduckgo.desktop, copy it to MyDocs.
2) download a duckduckgo icon, perhaps here:
http://blog.toniob.net/public/icon-m...duckduckgo.png
3) name the icon "icon-m-web-search-duckduckgo.png" and copy it to MyDocs
4) run:
5) settings -> applications -> web -> search engine -> duckduckgo OR edit /home/user/.local/share/applications/defaults.list and change 'generic' or 'google' to 'duckduckgo'

Thanks mate. Will give it a shot.
