How to Add to the Search Bar in Firefox
If you use Firefox as your Web browser, you will notice that one of the default components of the toolbar is a search bar that sits to the right of the address bar. The search bar automatically includes search engines such as Google, eBay or Amazon, which allow you to quickly search for Internet content or shop. You can add other search engines that you frequently use to the search bar to further increase the functionality. For example, you can add thesaurus or encyclopedia search engines to the search bar.
