Ratings and Reviews
Override safari engine
I don’t usually leave reviews, but once I found that “override safari engine” in settings. A total game changer!! So glad I found this app and it to have it sync to iCloud and use the same settings on my Mac. Amazing. Top notch developer
Maybe I missing something?
I purchased this App to run Perplexity as my default search, in place of Google, but it appears that will only work if I precede every single search with the phrase (I realise the phrase can be changed) “Perp” or suchlike..that defeats the whole object for me. Am I missing something?
…Thanks for “Developer Response” - I’ve done that, but still not working. I see in Safari Settings an option to select Default Search Engine e.g. Duck Duck Go and your App works in that regard if I select one of the Drop Down options, but Perplexity isn’t there for me to choose.
Developer Response ,
To enable Perplexity as your default engine in xSearch, follow these steps:
1. Tap the top left corner.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Turn on "Override Safari Engine."
4. Select Perplexity as your default.
Update: you have to activate perplexity engine from the gallery first.
