Problem with search engine

Months ago, there was a site which you could search subtitles with this url: http://www.greeksubtitlesproject.com

Now, they changed their url to: http://www.greeksubtitles.info/

I have added the search engine of the first one, it worked fine. After they changed their url, I removed it. I went to the new site, clicked to add the search engine. It was added in the menu. I wrote some text to test it, clicked enter and... it did the search but with the old url! Not the new one.

Is there a way to make it work? To have a search engine at the search engine menu, which will search in http://www.greeksubtitles.info/ ?

you could add a smart keyword to search the site from your location bar, that's an inbuilt function & you wouldn't need any extensions doing it: How to search IMDB, Wikipedia and more from the address bar

hello alex, please contact the providers of the webpage directly and ask them to update their search plugin.

Hello! I've contacted them a few hours later after you posted, but I got no response from them. Also they didn't fix it.

Is there any way to do a search in their new site without having to go at their page? For example, an add-on which would add a search engine at the search engine menu, and the add-on would use the search function of their site, and would open the results' page of the search?
