Keyword Search on site with non-standard search url format not working
The smart keyword search is probably my favorite less-known firefox feature and it really made the switch from Opera a few years back much easier.
But there is one site - jisho.org - where I'm having a lot of trouble using the keyword search feature.
Before it redesigned its site and search feature, I could type in a Japanese word in:
Japanese characters - 狐
Roman letters - kitsune
Or the english meaning - fox
and have a search page come up. However, since they changed their url from something like "...search.php?q=kitsune" to ".../search/kitsune" it has become really difficult for me to update the bookmarked search to something that works.
By default, a search will show up as:
"http://jisho.org/search?utf8=%u2713&keyword=%E7%8B%90"
for "j 狐"
Or:
"http://jisho.org/search?utf8=%u2713&keyword=kitsune"
for "j kitsune"
and both searches will bring up a blank page.
Ideally it would bring up for "j kitsune"
"http://jisho.org/search/kitsune"
Or for "j 狐" either: "http://jisho.org/search/狐" or "http://jisho.org/search/%E7%8B%90"
I've been trying to work around this problem and specify a keyword search that actually works, but I'm pretty out of my element here. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Did you remove the old keyword like I posted above?
There are some issues with keywords if you edit the URL and best is to first remove the keyword, then edit the URL and then re-add the keyword.
Did you try to use another keyword?
You may have to use the SQLite Manager extension to remove this specific keyword from the moz_keywords table.

Try to create a new bookmark with the URL set to http://jisho.org/search/%S If you edit the existing bookmark then best is probably to first remove the keyword to prevent keyword issues (bugs).

For whatever reason, the bookmark won't let me add a keyword to it. It just reverts to a regular bookmark when I hit "save."

Changing the keyword worked and so did deleting the moz_keywords entry. Thank you so much.
