# Search settings

## Searching on websites with OpenSearch {#search-boundary}

You can use the SmartBox to search on websites that support [OpenSearch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSearch) (such as `wikipedia.org`). To do this:

1. Enter the site's name or address in the SmartBox. If the site supports OpenSearch, you'll see **To search in [`site name`], press Tab** appear on the right.

2. Press **Tab**. You will see the site name appear on an icon in the left part of the SmartBox.

3. Enter a search query.

4. Press **Enter**.

To exit OpenSearch, click ![](../_image/clear-omnibox.png) on the right side of the SmartBox.

- Searching a site

{% endlist %}


{% cut "**How to copy an URL when searching sites with Open Search**" %}


When searching a site with support for OpenSearch, the SmartBox displays the query text instead of the address of the open page. To see the page address, click the SmartBox and then the **Copy** button that appears.

If you want to always see the page address in the SmartBox:

1. Click **![](../_image/settings-icon.svg)**&nbsp;→ **Settings**&nbsp;→ **General settings**.

    
2. Under **Search**, deselect **Show search queries in SmartBox when searching a site**.


{% note info %}

You can enable or disable query display in the SmartBox only when the **Interface**&nbsp;→ **SmartBox**&nbsp;→ **Use "domain > title" format for page addresses** option is enabled.

{% endnote %}


{% endcut %}

## Change the search engine {#by-default}

<!--По этому разделу написаны фактовые ответы. Если раздел обновился, не забудьте проверить и обновить ответы в файле fact-answers.yaml.-->

{% note alert %}

The search engine will change in the SmartBox, on the new tab page, and in the context menu.

{% endnote %}


1. Right-click the SmartBox.

2. In the context menu, select **Manage search engines...**

3. On the **Search engine settings** page, go to the **Default search engine** section and select the search engine from the list.


If the desired search engine isn't in the list, specify it manually:

1. In the upper-right corner of the screen, click **Add**.

2. In the window that opens, fill in the fields:

   - **Name**: enter the name of the search engine (for example, `bing`);

   - **Keyword**: enter the search engine address (such as `bing.com`)

   - **Link with the %s parameter instead of a query** (for example, `http://bing.com/?q=%s`).

3. Click **Add**.

4. Hover your mouse over the search engine you entered and click **Make default**.

## What do I do if a webpage doesn't open? {#page-doesnt-open}

If Yandex Browser can't open the page, it offers possible solutions:

- If you entered the page address incorrectly, Yandex Browser will give you links to existing pages with similar addresses, or suggest searching for it in Yandex.
- If the page existed but was recently removed, you can view its copy cached by Yandex.
- If there were problems on the server side, you can view a cached copy of the page or search for it on Yandex.
- If a Yandex service returned a 404 error (page not found), [write to us](https://yandex.com/support/not-found/en/index.html).


{% cut "**How do I open a cached website?**" %}


To see a link to a cached website, click ![](../_image/menu-tibar.svg) to the right of the site address.

{% note info %}

To save the copy of a site, open it, then click ![](../_image/menu-tibar.svg)→ **Save** in the page menu. Choose the file destination and format (`HTML` or `PDF`).
