[Bug 1006824] Re: Default internet search engine is Microsoft's Bing

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

This is also the case if you use the search bar within Thunderbird - it
offers to search within your messages but also on Bing. I guess they got
a bag of cash from MSFT? I can't find anywhere to change it in the
preferences. I tried poking around in the Config editor; there were two
strings referring to default search engine that I tried setting to
Google. But there must be somewhere else that isn't accessible where the
search engine is defined, since it doesn't offer Google as an option.
(On the plus side, however, it now skips over Option 1 (Google) since it
doesn't know what to do with it, and goes to Option 2, which is Yahoo.
So at least Bing is gone.) I searched for any other strings involving
Bing and couldn't find any, so I don't know where the URL for Bing is
defined.
