In Linux Lite 3.8, we will have our own Google Search home page

What does this exactly mean? I use google as my search engine in Opera. Is this to be on Firefox? In LL 3.8?

I see no ads. What ads are those? Do I have to turn adblock off?

Keep in mind folks, that there is no auto-complete

I do have auto-complete, but then like I said is my primary search engine so I don't know if that's the reason why. Should I try this on Firefox? Best of luck by the way on this new enterprise! :)
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us :)

I'll use it but I wish it was DuckDuckGo or Searx or one of those privacy-respecting search engines instead.  But I'll use it periodically to help Linux Lite!

Keep in mind folks, that there is no auto-complete. I've spent nearly all day researching this, and people are saying it's flakey.

After clicking is there a duration to remain on the ad site so LL gets revenue, or it requires purchases on the ad site for LL to earn revenue ?
Is it only begin to raise revenue after LL 3.8 release, or using the link you provided in advance is working now for this.
Is working well, I tested it and had no problems.

@Jerry does it create revenue by searching, or only if the ad is clicked ?

In Linux Lite 3.8, we will have our own Google Search home page.

The idea behind this is to try and pull in a little more ad revenue to help fund the project, whilst still giving a familiar search engine experience.

The link will be set as here - https://www.linuxliteos.com/search/

Please help to test this out, and if you have any suggestions, I'll certainly consider them.



Thank you :)
