I must recommend a Firefox extension that I think is extremely powerful.
You know that pesky search box on top where you can type what you are looking for, well how about adding any search box from almost any site to this list of search engines?
Well someone did exactly that, you add the extension ‘OpenSearchFox’ (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3698) and you can right - click in any of your favourite search boxes (any site even the search in this very forum) and add it to the list of search engines, like if for example you want to search videos on youtube than just change the search box to this and that’s it.
The advantage is that you can do it yourself and have a set of search engines right there on the top (I like the saynoto0870 search).
You can also add search boxes that other people made in the Mycroft web site http://mycroft.mozdev.org/index.html
