HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes Open the registry editor (Start -> Run -> regedit) and navigate to the following key in the registry: OpenDNS and Internet Explorer Address Bar Related: Google Search and Firefox location bar That’s it - now any query you type in the Firefox Address bar will go to Google, not OpenDNS guide. If you want Firefox to do a “I am Feeling Lucky” style Google search, use this value for keyword.URL:Īlso make sure that the value of keyword.enabled is set to TRUE. Now type keyword.url in the Filter field and set the value as: If you are on Firefox 3, click “I’ll be careful, I promise!“. Type about:config in the address bar and press enter. Use Google Search with OpenDNS in Firefox Location Bar If you like to disable OpenDNS Guide search without removing the OpenDNS DNS entries from your computer or router, just follow these simple steps: This can be a bit frustrating for Google users because Yahoo! (that feeds OpenDNS search) is definitely not the best search engine around. That’s because all search requests from the browser address bar, originally meant for Google, are always redirected to OpenDNS Guide. Sounds like a perfect combination but a side effect of using OpenDNS is that you can no longer search Google from Firefox location bar or the address bar of Internet Explorer.
I also use OpenDNS for reasons explained here - Why You Need OpenDNS ? Like everyone else, I search the web from the browser address bar and have set Google as the default search engine in both Firefox and IE. Published in: Google - internet explorer - Mozilla Firefox - opendns
