Hi, I have been using Iron for a couple of years and am very happy with it. I recently downloaded the latest version and now find that when I add scroogle to the search engine list I cannot make it the default engine. It doesn't show make default at the right hand side of the added line.
And I don't know why or how but other search engines are being added automatically, although when I pass the mouse pointer over them the make default appears, but not on the Scroogle line.
Any ideas?

Put a shortcut to it on your toolbar and use it there. You don't "have" to use it in the search box.

Theres always Startpage as an alternative Privacy respecting setup - I found Scroogle occasionally gets foiled by google changing the way things work sometimes putting Scroogle out of action for a few days.

Homepage ....

https://www.startpage.com/power-search.html

From there click on About Startpage link at the bottom.

Then on the left of the next screen look for Get more Startpage, and click the link 'Add Startpage to your Browser'

Tick both boxes (if you want to use HTTPS search engine aswell)

No problems setting this as default search engine with Iron. Check out your options and once its set as default just delete the others.

Occasionally with updates to Iron the others come back - I just keep deleting them.

Try this https://ssl.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbwssl.cgi?Gw=%s
then select as default It works for me I just tried it out to make sure. Hope you get it working

Mr Blair, That's what I normally use. It worked in the previous version, just not in the latest. Thanks all the same.

Thanks for your reply,I had already done that, just wanted it to work as per the older version. Again, thankyou!

It's probably a bug in this version. In the latest Chromium version (13) it works as before so Iron will pickup the correct behavior with the next upgrade hopefully.

try ixquick.com, which is a privacy oriented search engine
