  • General tab consists of the basics of search settings and will affect the general search result such as: displayed search language, adult filter, and autocomplete.
  • Engines tab will enable you to tailor your search result based on the search engine you've been chosen. The more engines you choose the more varieties of results you will get.
  • Advanced tab is mostly referring to specific things, and most of the time it's best to leave it as it is.
