From that it looks like bookmark keyword searches will be auto-migrated to a new user interface in about:preferences that will allow users to create their own "custom search engine", which seems to imply it will have all the features necessary to do what bookmark keyword searches can currently do. Without knowing anything about this change prior to reading your comment, on the surface this seems like a good thing to me since it sounds like it will be a lot more discoverable and usable to your average user than bookmark keyword searches currently are.

- autocorr 6y agoThanks for posting! I hope that the conversion from bookmark to custom search engines will work with Firefox Sync. That has been a killer feature for me of the bookmark keyword searches. I've probably had the same keyword searches in my bookmarks for more than ten years, and Sync reliably puts them on every FF instance. Like magic! :)
