Adding another search module

more options

Hello,

I would like to use http://www.helpuu.com/ search engine directly from Firefox (as a search module - search box in upper right corner of the browser). Is it possible?

Thanks.

Install the "Add to Search bar" extension then you can right-click within the search area on that page and choose "Add to Search Bar...".


As an alternative to having a lot of search engines, you can generate a bookmark and a keyword using Firefox built-in facilities, no extension involved. Right-click with the search area on that page and choose "Add a Keyword for this Search" so if you created a keyword of "helpuu" you would simply type the following into the location bar:

helpuu firefox keyword shortcuts

Because I use keyword shortcuts a lot, I have prevented default external searching from the location bar, and my keyword shortcuts include a colon(":") so I might use something like "helpuu:" or just "uu:" -- keyword shortcuts should be short, easy to type and most important easy to remember -- such as abbreviations. All of mine have the keyword at the beginning of the the bookmark title are in for the most part in one folder :"K" and are sorted on title so if I forget one I can find it easily from the folder for from an AwesomeBar search (internal search before hitting Enter at the location bar).
