Changing Vimperator's default search engine

Post by ^rooker »

I fell in love with Vimperator a few years ago, but now I feel a bit dirty being fixed to Google as search engine when using it.
Thanks to Question #573441 on "earthwithsun.com", I found how I can easily change it:
  1. Open Firefox with Vimperator plugin enabled
  2. Use "defsearch" (=default search) option to select search engine. For example "duckduckgo":

    Code: Select all

    :set defsearch=duckduckgo
  3. To make it stick, store it in your vimperatorrc:

    Code: Select all

    :mkvimperatorrc
That's it. :D
