Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
DuckDuckGo is a general purpose search engine with real privacy (we do not collect or share personal information -- https://duckduckgo.com/privacy.html), less spam/clutter and instant answers (https://duckduckgo.com/goodies/).  We would like to be included as a search option in Firefox in RHEL.

Additional info:
Please add https://duckduckgo.com/?q={{search}}&t=redhat so that we can count the number of searches from RHEL.

Opensearch: https://duckduckgo.com/opensearch_ssl.xml

We are available in Debian, Fedora, LinuxMint, Ubuntu and others:  http://help.duckduckgo.com/customer/portal/articles/216425-linux-distributions

Hello, any updates from product management or engineering?

Thanks!

I've been using duckduckgo.com as my default search engine for about a year with no issues. When it runs out of hits for your search criteria, you can click Bing or Google and duckduckgo will send you to that search engine with your search criteria already entered. By the time I transfer to Bing or Google, their search results are already listed.

This will be part of rebase to Firefox 17 ESR. Changing to modified.

Thanks, Henry & Jan!

Jan, how long does it take from this step to get into production?

Closing as part of Firefox 17.0.3 ESR update.
