Trying to make
https://ssl.scroogle.org/ my default search engine. Iron will let me add it but won't allow me to make it default. The "make default" button is greyed out.

When you define a new search engine you must use "%s" somewhere in the URL. This way you pass an argument of what you are looking for. I don't know how Scroogle could accept such parameter but lack of it in the URL causes your problem. As soon as you put "%s" somewhere to the URL you will be able to set it as a default.

I just found an earlier thread listing the solution and it works even with the ssl version.
Thanks
