A solution to changing where searches typed into the address bar go. If you open the about:config page and pull up the entry name keyword.URL, it can be modified to change the search behavior of the address bar. In Flock, by default, it is set to search.yahoo.com, but it can be changed, say to http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=, and now all your searches go through google.

“What is Flock? …
Flock is a consumer Internet business which has developed a free, next generation web browser. The web, and the way people engage online, has evolved dramatically over the past decade. But web browsers - the application that fundamentally enables online experiences and services across ones’ connected life - have not kept pace.
Flock is focused on fundamentally evolving the browser, bringing a refreshing new approach to how people use and participate on the web and simplifying social and web-based applications by bringing them one step closer to the user and integrating them directly into the browser.
When using Flock, people can easily discover, access, create and share videos, photos, blogs, feeds and comments across social communities, media providers, and popular websites.“

Q: Why Flock?
A: To me, there of several features of Flock that are extremely appealing…
Blog Post Editor-
RSS News Feeds Reader
-
Media Stream - access/update your favorite photos at Flickr or Photobucket, and at YouTube
-
My World
-
Integration with social bookmarking systems (e.g. de.licio.us, ma.gnolia)
- Web Clipboard
- “Use the Web Clipboard for Instant Saving and Sharing“
- Even with loading Firefox with extensions, you do not get the integration that Flock offers. For example, to blog from Firefox you can use the ScribeFire extension. And to save webclips you can you can use another extension. And in this scenerio you will not be able to combine the use of a blog extension with a web clip extension, say, to copy from one to the other. But with Flock’s built-in Blog editor and Flock’s built-in Web Clipboard tool, you can copy from the web clips to the blog editor with ease.
Built-in spell checker
- Plus, the same great features that Firefox has:
-
Customizable, Personalize - buttons on toolbars can be re-arranged, toolbars using View»Toolbars»Customize…” For example.
- Search Engine customization
-
And many other features…
I have given a lot of feedback, and encourage others to do so also,
simply use: Help»Give Feedback, or click on the blue fly icon (Send
Feedback) to the right of the URL/location field.
BTW, I wrote Instructions on how to download and start using Flock…
Kind Regards,

This is my latest attempt (see picture) to simplify the customization of my browser. Prior to this attempt, I had four (4) toolbars visible and a lot more buttons. As of this attempt, I have tried to minimize: by only putting those buttons on that I use frequently and/or those that save me a lot of time. To see a parade of my attempts at customziation, see snapshots of them at my flickr accounted, tagged “customized“. Over time, I have thought that perhaps a different customization might be appropriate for my browser when I am at work, verses at home. Not so sure at this point.
What customization have you done? Any suggested philosophies?

My right-click in mozilla browser is broken. Does anyone know how to fix it? For example, what resource within my preferences controls this?
