The search engine that is used in the location bar is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br>
You can disable automatic searching via the location bar by setting keyword.enabled to false and use a (one letter) keyword search to use a specific search engine instead to search via the location bar.<br>
Another possibility is to disable keyword search (keyword.enable = false) and use a (one letter) keyword search for searching via the location bar.<br>
You can set a keyword for an installed search engine via Manage Search Engines (click the search engines icon on the search bar).<br>
That also allows to switch easily between search engines when searching via the location bar and you also do not have a problem with one word searches.<br>
