I'm still baffled by the "search engine" toolbar that Firefox offers.

The search engine drop-down box last item is "Add Engines". Sounds like a way to add an engine (I'd like to add hyperdictionary myself).

However, selecting this last drop-down item doesn't provide a mechanism to add an engine. It brings up a mozilla web page stating it's easy to add search engines (no explanation of how), but click here to see all the possible search engines...

I'll give a to anyone who can post the solution to this problem.

Oh, and I forgot, use this "click here to see all the possible search engines...", scroll down, type hyperdictionary, scroll down again . This should be it.

Thanks, here's your

This isn't a problem but is there any way to remove something from the drop-down list of search engines?

It's open source software Sam... this means anything useful has to be done by editing config files

Go to the install \searchplugins directory ( C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins ) on mine, and remove the .src entries you don't want.
