### Search engine suggestions
Search engine suggestions are disabled in the URL bar to keep everything you type from going to Google.
### 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 buttons and bookmark [keywords](https://www-archive.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html) ([video example](https://youtu.be/bGTBH9yr8uw?t=968)).
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)).
```javascript
// PREF: restore search engine suggestions
user_pref("browser.search.suggest.enabled", true);
```
Change your **default search engine**:
* Alternatively, [select](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-your-default-search-settings-firefox#w_default-search-engine) a different search engine just for [Private Browsing](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-use-firefox-without-history) windows. (This is an option after you apply the `user.js`.)

#### Adjust URL bar suggestions
`☰` *→ Settings → Privacy & Security → Address Bar*
```javascript
// PREF: disable URL bar top sites dropdown suggestions with empty query
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.topsites", false); // Shortcuts (Top Sites)
