One of my favourite addons. A shame that it is not compatible with Firefox Quantum 57. Please fix it!

This is a good concept. I can see this working well especially for people who prefer to use an alternative search engine(like DuckDuckGo or Bing) but need to revert to Google for some searches. I added a Wikipedia search to my Context Menu, and was able to quickly search for new names, terms, and titles when browsing the news. By adding Amazon.com to new tab windows, I could streamline my internet shopaholic habit, which would come in handy in the near future. The add-on was simple to install and the dropdown menus for changing options later were clearly labelled and intuitive to use.
However, after trying several times, reading the instructions on the add on page, and playing around with the settings, I was unable to get the about:home Search Engine and New Tab search engine to work. I set them at first both to Amazon.com and then to DuckDuckGo and Bing. When I navigated to about:home and tried searching both in the address bar and the search bar, the search still ran on Google. The same results occurred when I tried to search from the address bar and search bar on a new tab. I am not sure whether or not this is a bug or if the instructions need to be clarified in regards to about:home and New Tab searches. Another suggestion: allowing users to customize and add their own search engines/websites(ie. Reddit, Craigslist).
Overall, this is a cool idea and will help hinder Google on their inevitable path to becoming the future emperors of the universe. Four stars.
Thanks for the kind words.
As far as about:home and new tab go, setting a search engine for those affects the search field that is on those pages, not the one in the URL bar.

This addon really works very well. I like this add-on, because now ownwards, I can change the internet searcher so straight forward and discover essential data that i look for.

Ever since the new update, typing multiple words divided by a space into the urlbar and pressing Enter or the Go button does nothing in SeaMonkey. This was useful for getting to sub levels of sites, like typing "yahoo mail" would take me directly to the Yahoo Mail login page.

What engine do you have as your keyword search engine? And what other features do you have turned on?

I use it to set a custom DDG search as default. It is great!

Thanks to this extension I don't need to change any settings to use the English Wikipedia when typing in the URL bar, the French Wikipedia in the Search bar and the aw<s>esome</s>ful bar, and DuckDuckGo on right-click.
I love it.

Hi there, first off I wan to say that I love this add-on and many thanks for developing it. :)
Now, I would like to have an option to open my search results in new tab when performing a search from the Search Bar/Awesome Bar. Could this be added please as an option? This is already accessible through about:config, but not many know about it and so I think this would benefit everyone using this add-on. Well I mean you got KeywordURL function back, why not make use of browser.search.openintab as an enhancement for the Search Bar/Awesome Bar.

Hi,
Is it possible to make the search suggestion appeared in location bar (a new feature in Fx 43 and later) also use the designated search engine in Keyword Search?
Currently it will still use the default engine (in search bar) instead of fixed engine set by Keyword Search to find suggestions.
That's a good question. I'll try to check into it.

I must be confused. I have this functionality already. Open search engines drop-down. Go to 'manage search engines.' Assign a letter or keyword to your favorite searches.
To use, simply type "i" (or whatever) search term and I get results from ixquick. Or duck-duck. Or anything else.
So if I'm wrong, and Mozilla has removed this ability from their latest abortion of a browser, I apologize.
That's not the function this replaces. This add-on adds back the ability to have a separate engine for the URL bar, the search in the upper right, the about:home page and the new tab page.

I guess I am just using a small part of this but it gets the job done. I use it in Pale Moon to set the address bar to search on Google, while the search field goes for different locations

Fantastic. Dual Search Bars! Works perfectly. Made Google my default in Firefox so it would still show up in the search bar and made DuckDuckGo search my default within the extension options for searching in the Awesome bar. Privacy still isn't perfect but it's better than normal.
I typically use DuckDuckGo most of the time, but occasional I need the Google Encrypted for images and obscure topics.

Great because it does everything it says it will. You can add a custom search engine now, so I made my awesome bar Google's I'm feeling lucky search and now it saves me a lot of time

Brings back one of the worse removals to Firefox and does it simply and elegantly.
