It doesn't work. ugh, I think my distro tore that feature out of Firefox with the latest update.
I may only search eBay, Bing, Amazon, and other search engines that my distro deems worthy.

That was painful.

Hi, my understanding is that with very few exceptions, if a search engine is included in Firefox it is because Mozilla and the search engine have a contract and Mozilla makes some money from the arrangement. It's hard for outsiders to know what will be added or removed in the future.

is what firefox points me to if I click on find more search engines from the settings
I started using one called Context Search[0] which let me set custom URLs to be searched on right-click. I needed something to search selected text on an intranet php search page, seems to work okay so far.

Add-ons let you add other search engines. I suspect you could do it yourself pretty easily, maybe even as a custom pref.
