With the Firefox Extension "Add to Search Bar" you can add the search functionality of ANY page to the search box with 3 clicks (much quicker than with the extension Mycroft Project). In combination with the extension "Organize Search Engines" you keep good overview about many Search Engines.
The screencast http://firefox.maltekraus.de/public/images/screencast8.gif demonstrates how to use the extension:
Instructions how to use Add to Search Bar:
* navigate to the search engine
* place the mouse pointer over the search engine’s search box
* press the right mouse button (Mac: press Ctrl and click)
* choose “Add to Search Bar” from the context menu
* Choose Name and Icon and press Ok
Have you ever wanted to have a search engine available in Firefox’ search bar that isn’t shipped by default, but this site doesnt have the glowing search bar icon to add its search (like e.g. YouTube)? Then this is the optimal application for you.
Known Issues:
Some (very few) sites dont work with Add to Search Bar (most notably Google Maps) and there is nothing I can do about it. You can look for an engine on Mycroft. If you cant find one, maybe some is so nice to make a search plugin for you at the MozillaZine forums.
