Several shortcut keywords for the same search engine

Some of the firefox built-in search engines have several comma-separated associated shortcut keywords in Settings/Search/Search shortcuts, e. g.

  • @duckduckgo, @ddg for DuckDuckGo

But if I type in several comma-separated shortcuts for any other search engine, none of them will work as expected in the address line. What is the correct way to assign several keywords for the same search engine, like it is already assigned for some default engines?

It seems a little inconsistent. For built-in search engines, I can only add a new keyword. For others, when I double-click in the keyword column, I can edit the existing keyword and sometimes can add a second one. I'm not sure how it is supposed to work, but it is confusing that it's not consistent.
