+--- Thread: Linux Lite 3.8 Home Page (/showthread.php?tid=4560)
Re: Linux Lite 3.8 Home Page - Artim - 10-22-2017
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!

Now as default search.

Quote: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?
Quote:The idea behind this is to try and pull in a little more ad revenue to help fund the project
I see no ads. What ads are those? Do I have to turn adblock off?
Quote: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!

[member=7109]Moltke[/member] It's a Google powered search engine so yes, you will get the same results as if you had set your home page to Google. This will be in Firefox in 3.8
Adblock has to be off, then there will be ads at the top. You can try it on any browser you like.

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.
Duration - there is no duration. Revenue started the moment I uploaded the Search page. I would ask people not to click on an ad unless it specifically interests them.

on left of posts in forum, for user infos, lower (central approx.) is "Reputation" under it there are icons, some do go externally eg; website, blogs, I suggest an icon in this row, maybe nearest to the post wording (right end of row) to click for using the LL search.
You may have to re-word this, I'm finding it difficult to understand. May I also suggest that you create an entirely new post if you have any new comments, if you re-edit an existing one, I may miss it altogether. Thank you

I was a little confused as I expected the Google Search to only search within Linux Lite, but it didn't. In any case it looks fine. When you mean it's the home page for LL 3.8, do you mean it's the [glow=red,2,300]browser[/glow] home page? If so then I think that will work out fine without causing any confusion about what it's supposed to search for.
Re: Linux Lite 3.8 Home Page - Valtam - 10-23-2017
[member=6960]Vera[/member] the approach was to make the home page look as familiar to Google search users as possible so that hopefully, there would be no confusion as to its purpose.
Yes, I mean the browser home page. Cheers
Re: Linux Lite 3.8 Home Page - Vera - 10-23-2017
Thanks [member=2]Jerry[/member] for clarifying. Yes I think there will be no confusion if it's to be set as the browser home page like you mentioned.

Hi [member=2]Jerry[/member]
Thanks for the clarifying, but I'm still I bit confused about how this works, I mean, I want to help by clicking those ads and as long as I don't have to buy anything, but I see none, and yes I turned adblock off. Let me see if I get it right; if I click on this link https://www.freecinema2022.gq/search/ am I supposed to see any ads?
