Make Beamo your default search engine

1. Install the free Beamo Search extension.
2. Confirm the one-time browser prompt — “Change search to Beamo Search.”
3. Done. Every address-bar search now goes to Beamo.

Installs from the Chrome Web Store. Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi support it too — they may first ask you to allow extensions from other stores.

1. On any Beamo page, click the address bar (or right-click the page) and choose “Add Beamo Search.”
2. Open Settings → Search.
3. Under Default Search Engine, pick Beamo Search.

Beamo already shows up in Firefox's engine list automatically (via OpenSearch) — no add-on needed.

1. Run one search on beamosearch.com so your browser remembers Beamo.
2. Chrome: ⋮ menu → Settings → Search engine → choose Beamo Search.
3. Firefox / Brave: Settings → Search → set Beamo as the default engine.

Beamo is detected automatically once you've searched it once.

1. Safari only allows its built-in search engines, so it can't make Beamo the default.
2. Best option: use Brave, Firefox, or DuckDuckGo and set Beamo as the search engine in their settings.
3. Or tap Share → Add to Home Screen for one-tap Beamo access.

We're working on a Beamo iOS app that can act as your default browser.

1. Safari limits the default to its built-in engines, so Beamo can't be set as the default there.
2. Add the Beamo Search Safari extension for a one-click toolbar search and right-click “Search Beamo.”
3. For a true default search, use Chrome, Edge, Brave, or Firefox on your Mac.

1. Open your browser's search engine settings.
2. Add a new engine with the URL https://beamosearch.com/results?q=%s.
3. Set it as your default.

Most browsers also list Beamo automatically after you search it once, thanks to OpenSearch.
