Firefox version 140 lets you add custom search engines in a few different ways: from supported websites, in your Firefox settings, or by entering a custom URL using %s as a placeholder.
With this capability, Firefox gives you the freedom to customize your searching experience with the tools that work best for you. For example, you can build a specific search engine with a website you frequently visit (think YouTube or IMDB).
In this article, you'll learn how to create a custom search engine in Firefox to make the searching experience faster and easier.

FAQ
Q: Why does the URL need to contain %s?

Q: What’s the purpose of the keyword?
