Fallbacks

Fallbacks are search engine options that are displayed when you search using QueryDial’s popup. They are called ‘fallbacks’ because they are displayed even when your query doesn’t contain a shortcut or when your shortcut don’t match any search engine.

Set a search engine as fallback

Select “Search Engines” under “Library” to view your search engine library. Select the search engines you want to add to fallbacks, then right-click one of them, select “Add to Fallbacks” from the menu. You can also drag selected search engines to the “Fallbacks” sidebar item.

iPhone & iPad

In the “Library” tab, tap the “Select” button in the navigation bar, select the search engines you wish to add to fallbacks, press the “Add to Fallbacks” button in the bottom bar when you are done. Search engines that are fallbacks will have a ‘Fallbacks’ label.
