The new search bar is in no way improved. I have to always keep in mind what my default search engine is now since they removed the icon, and I can no longer do multiple searches on a different search engine without having do a lot of extra clicking. Any way to fix it?
- PetitPrince 12y agoUse Yubnub or Duckduckgo as your search provider, and take advantage of the command line nature of Yubnub or the bang operators in DuckDuckGo.

- conradfr 12y agoI don't why but I never got the habit to use the search bar going all the way back to Phoenix. I guess I prefer clicking on a link and using a real website. On the other hand I LOVED the "Search [search engine] for [selected text]" in the context menu, which use the search engine selected in the search bar.
