### Search settings
|

#### Allow search engine suggestions
|

[Search suggestions](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-firefox-address-bar#w_search-suggestions) are disabled in the URL bar to keep everything you type from going to Google.
|
||||
|
||||
You can still use [search shortcuts](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-firefox-address-bar#w_search-shortcuts) and custom [bookmark keywords](https://www-archive.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html) ([YouTube example](https://youtu.be/bGTBH9yr8uw?t=968)).

(This is an option after you apply the `user.js`.)

1) Go to `☰` *→ Settings → Search → Default Search Engine*
