Adding new search engines to Pale Moon

Unread post by THX-1139 » 2019-07-24, 13:26

Hello all, new PM user here and I love it..anyways I am still in the PM tweaking process and I came across the need to add more search engines to the search bar/window pull down, I looked in prefs/options but nothing there relating to that, so like any decent geek worth their salt I used my brain and; Loaded the search engine page I wanted, looked in the search bar pull down and lo and behold! a new entry is offered: "add yandex.com to search" or something to that effect,
I did this with both yandex and startpage.
The main reason I am posting this is for noobs to PM like me, I did a forum search after I resolved it myself and did not find much on the subject except this: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=20842&p=155954&hili ... ne#p155954
As long as you know what to do, it's super easy..no extensions needed. *or did I miss some documentation somewhere? I am losing my vision some. :geek:
