How do I easily add this to the list of search engines in Firefox? I seem trip over this issue every time I see one of these new search engines, and I definitely want to add it to the list of search engines. Maybe my distro broke this, again.

right click in a search box then Add a keyword for this search. Press tab 3 times and type "frog" or "f" or whatever you like. Use the address bar to FrogFind things by typing "frog hacker news"

  It doesn't work. ugh, I think my distro tore that feature out of Firefox with the latest update. I may only search eBay, Bing, Amazon, and other search engines that my distro deems worthy.

Hi, my understanding is that with very few exceptions, if a search engine is included in Firefox it is because Mozilla and the search engine have a contract and Mozilla makes some money from the arrangement. It's hard for outsiders to know what will be added or removed in the future. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/bring-back-recently-eliminated-default-search-engines/m-p/4601/highlight/true#M2058 https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/bring-back-recent...

        I started using one called Context Search[0] which let me set custom URLs to be searched on right-click. I needed something to search selected text on an intranet php search page, seems to work okay so far.

        I just read up a bit. What a weird development. I normally resort to user scripts and bookmarklets to transport the search query between pages. Didn't know things got this bad. Clicking on an open search js link[0] also doesn't seem to work anymore. I've added auto discovery[1] here which seems to work. FrogFind should add this bloat to their pages :) [0] - javascript:window.external.AddSearchProvider('http://blog.go-here.nl/yacy-opensearch.xml http://blog.go-here.nl/yacy-opensearch.xml'); [1] - http://blog.go-here.nl/8603 http://blog.go-here.nl/8603

    Add-ons let you add other search engines. I suspect you could do it yourself pretty easily, maybe even as a custom pref.
