I have never seen a Keyword for any Search Engine in the Manage Search Engine List ''(I have 34 search engines installed, none show a Keyword)'', and I can't seem to find any documentation for adding a Keyword either. Maybe another "helper" will know more about that feature than I do.<br /> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Search_Bar <br /> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Search%20bar <br /> I don't see anything about specifying a "keyword" when creating a Search Plugin either in Mozilla documentation. <br /> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Creating_OpenSearch_plugins_for_Firefox There is a feature to do "keyword searches" from the Location bar, but that's different than what you are talking about with the Search Bar. <br /> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_keyword_searches <br /> http://kb.mozillazine.org/List_of_keyword_searches

Keywords that you assign via "Edit Keyword" in the Search Engine Manager work as quick searches via the location bar.<br /> They work the same as when you create a bookmark and give it a keyword. See the above posted link on how keyword searches work. *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_keyword_searches Such keywords are stored in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/search.sqlite search.sqlite] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

Thanks!
