On a Debian system I use

  • Mozilla Iceweasel 10.0.11, with
  • Vimperator 3.5.

I want to change the search engine which vimperator (not iceweasel) seems to use by default.

If I type things like :open thing_I_wanna_lookup vimperator opens Google to search. I already changed the keyword.URL-entry in the about:config and also the browser.search.defaultenginename-entry. I couldn't find any other suspicious entries containing "google" somewhere. There are entries containing "google" – but they don't seem to have anything to do with searches. I didn't want to blindly change them.

If I use the regular adress bar to type in stuff and then press enter, it really uses my preferred search engine and not Google.

EDIT: You need to use this command :set defsearch=[search engine name] and not the one I suggested earlier.

Enter :dialog searchengines and a a Dialogue box will pop up with a list of available search engines.

Select the one you want and press Okay.
