bit bare to be so high on hacker news, but I would also suggest setting the keywordURL in about:config to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&q= http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourc... then you can get rid of the search box entirely and search from the url bar, somewhat closer to chrome, there is no need to have seperate url bars and search. (btw, anyone else able to hide the menubar in firefox 3.6pre on ubuntu?)

I find I actually do use both "g search terms" and the search box. When I'm sure I'll want to refine a search I use the search box, or if I know I'll want to search multiple SE. My most used keyword is probably w (wikipedia), then g, then d (dictionary.com).

But then you can't use any of the other search plugins.
