Utorrent search bar results open up in a browser instead of the usual results page??
Please make a suggestion on how to correct this, it's probably a setting i can't find.

... Do elaborate. Exactly what is it that you consider "usual," and in what way is opening the search results in a browser unusual?

OK... Utorrent window has a search bar in top left.  When I enter a "word" to search for a torrent, instead of a "list of torrents", my default browser i.e. firefox opens with several hundred pages of "results" i.e. links.  None of which are torrents.  Utorrent is behaving like a simple search bar that generates "results" with links.  I have researched this to no end.  It used to work fine before i had to restore my pc to like new and reinstall Utorrent.  btw, I have a green check mark, (not the yellow exclamation mark) indicating it will be able to download at high speeds if I can ever get it to produce torrents.  Please help

Not sure how else to put it. We don't deal with support for adding specific search engines anymore because of potential legality issues.

uT search bar is a bar like this one in Firefox. You set a number of websites (Google, TPB, isohunt etc) then you type your search into it. That opens your web browser.
