Im using ubuntu 10 and the firefox 10.0.
When using the address bar to search, when i type long words like 'search this in google' the search defaults to google. But when i type in small words like 'search' the browser uses centurylink. Please let me know how to get rid of this and make google as default search engine.

When you get the CenturyLink results, click the preferences/settings/gear-icon link in the upper right (as of Oct 2019), turn off the setting, and click save. Then it will stop hijacking your search.

I found the answer that works for me: There is a spot on mine (mac OS) that says in faded letters "why am I here" or "why do I see this". I clicked it, and there was a place to click to disable Centruylink searches. Good luck!

It is most likely that this is being done by centurylink (your isp) in response to failed DNS queries.
Without changing browsers you will be unable to fix this problem. However I do know that most versions of Chrome/Chromium will do some stuff to avoid this problem and, I believe, so does more recent versions of firefox.

Well in that case you can try using chromium/chrome which does some magic to avoid this problem entirely. Otherwise adding a space before or after the search term might avoid the problem.
