As in, forever for good, or the "Microsoft" "for good" user settings paradigm?

Using a search engine that isn't saturated with ads and AI trash also solves this problem.

To add it to Firefox search, open about:config and add a boolean value browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh set to true. This will allow you to manually add search engines. Then open the search settings and click add. Set the URL to https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s, give it a name and click "Add Engine".

Tried this and it returns as site not found

I still like the idea of not using google search as my defacto standard, however once a month I may do an actual google search and this is a nice backup.

Thank you for your work

Anyone know how to add it to mobile Chrome?

Edit: go to the udm14 site, then open settings/search engine, it'll be in there. I'm not sure if you have to do a search through the site first for it to show up.
