Is there search shortcuts in Firefox like in Chrome ?
Hello world,
I would like to switch from Chrome to Firefox but I don't know if something that I found very useful in Chrome is integrated in Firefox. Let me explain: In Google Chrome, when I want to perform a quick search on the website Word Reference to translate a word from English to French for example, I just have to type the keyword "wordenfr" in the global search/url bar, press the TAB button to indicate Google Chrome I'd like to search on Word Reference, and then indicate the word I would like to translate. This is because I already have set a shortcut that allows me to do this useful search trick. It would be the same if I would like to search on Bing for example: bing->tab->search query.
So my question is: Is there a similar function to the most recent Firefox ? Thank you.

Hi,
I'm glad to hear that you are wanting to switch over.
Firefox has a built-in search engine powered by the most used search engines. You can switch them at will. Right now, Firefox 29 has Google, Bing, Yahoo, Amazon, a bunch more. You can install your own search engines as well through the addons.mozilla.org page. If you navigate to a page that has search functionality, you can click the little Google icon (see screenshot) and select that website to be used as a search engine.
