How do I use search engine keywords?

I'd like to be able to define the search engine to use within the search box. For example, typing "google: firefox help" searches firefox help via Google, and "yahoo: firefox help" searches the same thing via Yahoo. Is this possible? I assume that's what the search engine keywords (in the search engine manager) are for, but I can't figure out how to use them.

I use the keyword on Firefox 4 address bar, not on the search bar. It works!
