Lemme start off with some small flock 0.7.0.10 hacks. All the hacks below are related to search engines so to get the search options : Type in about:config in the location bar and then in the Filter bar type search . A list of options containing the term search appear. Now its the time to tweak..
1. Changing the default search engine to Google
I have already dealt with this topic in an earlier
[post](http://arun.wordpress.com/2006/01/30/flock-change-default-search-engine-to-google/)
However i will mention the hack again just for the sake of
completeness ;) So here is how to proceed. Double click the
*browser.search.defaultenginename* and set it to *Google*. Similarly
set the *browser.search.defaulturl* to
*
</p>
</b>This hack involves changing the *flock.search.excludedEngines*
parameter. The default values are of the form :
<i>NC:SearchCategory?engine=urn:search:engine:[engine name].src
<p>
</i>Engine name can be Yahoo! or technorati etc etc. So if you don't
want the Yahoo search just put in *yahoo* in place of *engine name.*
The \*.src files are in the "searchplugins" directory in the parent
flock directory. All these stuff can be changed from the Tools -\>
Personalize Flock -\> Searching tab.
3. You can also reorder the search engines appearance in the search menu by changing the specific parameters browser.search.order.1 etc.
