Yes, there&#8217;s more to this search tool than just asking Google. Try clicking on the &#8220;G&#8221; logo beside the input field and you&#8217;ll see quite a complete search engine menu to choose from: Yahoo!, Amazon, Answers&#8230; Just select any of them and enter your keywords to search that site right away.<\/p>\n<p>If this list is not enough, you can always add new search engines to it. Click on the logo again and select &#8220;Manage Search Engines&#8221; from the context menu. Firefox will display a window with all the search engines available in your browser, which you can arrange them in any order you like. Click on the &#8220;Get more search engines&#8221; option and you&#8217;ll be taken to the <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/firefox\/search-engines\/\">Mozilla Add-ons site<\/a> to download new engines. Also, if you happen to visit a website that has developed its own search plug-in for Firefox, the search bar logo will blink and the new search engine will be then automatically added to the list.<\/p>\n<p>But what if your favorite website is not featured in this search engine menu, nor on the Mozilla site? Well, we still have an ace up our sleeve and it&#8217;s called <a href=\"http:\/\/opensearchfox.en.softonic.com\/ie\/59400\">OpenSearchFox<\/a>. This neat extension allows you to create custom search engines from virtually any website, just by right-clicking on its search field and selecting &#8220;Add OpenSearch plugin&#8221;. You&#8217;ll be able to have search engines just about for anything!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most outstanding features in Firefox is its built-in search engine from which you can conveniently search many websites, depending on how you configure it.
