Description claire robinson 2013-02-22 14:39:35 CET

With the update to thunderbird 17 it now uses yahoo search rather than google which is how it is set.

Highlighting some text and right click shows Search Yahoo for: <text>

Entering a search term in the main search box shows Search Yahoo for: <searchterm>

Checking settings..

Edit => Preferences => Advanced => General
Click Config editor and search for browser.search

browser.search.defaultenginename  default  string   Google
browser.search.order.1            default  string   Google
browser.search.order.2            default  string   Yahoo
browser.search.order.3            default  string   Bing
browser.search.param.ms-pc        default  string   MOZT
browser.search.update             default  boolean  false
browser.search.update.interval    default  integer  21600

Searching for Yahoo there only shows the one above.

Maybe it should also have a duckduckgo option as with firefox etc.

This is maybe invalid. Thunderbird has yahoo search built in now.
I'm not even sure it's possible to easily add extra search engines

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
