DuckDuckGo enhancements for Firefox.
This addon can
- add a handy DuckDuckGo toolbar button to your browser for easy access to !bang tags (removable).
- add DuckDuckGo as your default search engine through the address bar, search bar and context right-click menu (reversible).
- show DuckDuckGo instant answers on Google/Bing (removable).
Setting the partner parameter
First of all, there is a PARTNER_QUERY_ADDITION constant in
lib/main.js that should be set to something like &t=partnerid
in order to function properly.
Also, you might want to add the t parameter to the search engine definition
which is located at data/search.xml. It usually has a form
of <Param name="t" value="partnerid"/>.
You can easily automate both these steps by running
$ make partnerxpi PARTNER_ID=partnerid
which will do both steps for you and provided that you have the Add-on
SDK installed it will try to
build it for you into a file ddg_for_firefox-partnerid.xpi.
