Mozilla's
Firefox to get one click search buttons in an upcoming update.
Mozilla
has unveiled some of the new search features coming to Firefox. The company
mentioned in a blog post that the new additions are “coming soon to a Firefox
near you” but haven't mentioned a more specific timeline.
The
new update will allows users to type a search term into the Firefox search box
and get a list of reorganized search suggestions from the default search
provider. It will also have a new array of buttons below these suggestions
which will let you choose which search engine the user wants to send the query
to.
Users
will be able to see shortcuts to various services like eBay, Amazon, or
Wikipedia. For e.g., if a user wants to buy a book from Amazon, they will be
able to type the books title or author name and clicking Amazon will take you
to Amazon directly, instead of searching for the book and then clicking the
link which is a two-step process.
The
announcement comes just a week after Mozilla announced that it has replaced
Google and made Yahoo the default search engine
in its browser for U.S. users in a five year deal. The company also added that
it will be bringing a new search experience to its users that will be unveiled
in December. The company is making Yahoo the new default search in the U.S.,
Baidu will remain the default search engine in China and Yandex will be the new
default in Russia. However, users will also be given an option to switch to
other local search engines as well.
