You can add new search engines in Firefox to give you the freedom to customize your search 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).
Starting in Firefox version 140, you can add custom search engines from the search field of supported websites, or in Firefox settings by entering a custom URL. This article explains how to do this.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the URL need to contain %s?
%s is a placeholder that Firefox replaces with your search query. For example, if you enter firefox settings as the search term at https://developer.mozilla.org the browser will go to https://developer.mozilla.org/search?q=firefox+settings.
What’s the purpose of the keyword?
A keyword is a shortcut you type in the address bar to trigger that custom search engine. For example: google privacy tools → searches Google instead of your default engine. The keyword is optional, and it is not required for the custom search engine to work.
