I have been playing around with two new toys lately: The Epiphany web browser, and DuckDuckGo search. I might write more on these another time, but for now I want to show you how you can change the default setting for search (in Epiphany) from Google to DuckDuckGo, by using gconf-editor in Gnome:
Fire up a shell, and enter:
gconf-editor
A dialogue box will pop up. Click on apps -> epiphany -> general
You will see a list of things on the right. Scroll down until you see 'url_search'. Click that, then right click, and select 'edit key'. In the new dialogue box that comes up, paste the following into the 'Value' field:
http://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
Click, 'OK', and then close gconf-editor. Now when you open up Epiphany and do a search, you should be looking at a result page from DDG, instead of Google.
Happy DDG'ing!
