Hi,

I did find this old post over on the wiki, but....

YubNub "default" parameter for overriding default command (Google)
If you don't want Google as the default YubNub command, here's how you
can override it:

http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?default=y&command=abcde

In this example, we set the default to the "y" command (Yahoo).

it doesn't solve my problem. :(

I made a search page to my liking, loads in new tabs, with an embedded
yubnub search form.

I'd love to swap the default search to duckduckgo (ddg), but I can't
even get his example to make it default to yahoo, as he describes...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the script from the head (irrelevant?), and then the form from
the body:
----
<script type="text/javascript">
function focus(){document.input_box.command.focus();}
function prepend(arg){
oldVal = document.input_box.command.value;
document.input_box.command.value = arg + oldVal;
focus();
}
</script>
---
<form action="http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?default=y&command=abcde"
method="get" name="input_box">
<input type="text" name="command" size="45" value=""
class="searchbox" />

<div class="divbox">
<input type="reset" class="button1a" value="clear">
<input type="submit" class="button1b" value="send">
</div>

<div class="divbox">
<input type="button" class="button2" onclick="prepend('ddg ')"
value="ddg">
<input type="button" class="button2" onclick="prepend('!gi ')"
value="ddg img">
<input type="button" class="button2" onclick="prepend('wp ')"
value="wp">
<br />
<input type="button" class="button2" onclick="prepend('g ')"
value="g">
<input type="button" class="button2" onclick="prepend('gmaps ')"
value="maps">
<input type="button" class="button2" onclick="prepend('imdb ')"
value="imdb">
</div>
</form>
----
Shouldn't the form action default line drive the destination even with
this whole thing external to yubnub? It doesn't - it returns google no
matter what....

Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hi Eric,

Try putting this inside your form:

<input type="hidden" name="default" value="y" />

Hopefully that will work.

Yes! Works perfectly. I really appreciate it.
