You can find Google search engines, including a 'No country redirect' version, on the Mycroft Project website.

Hi again, I can't install the plugin as I can't find the magnifying glass icon in the Firefox search bar or the Page Actions "..." in the location bar. Please see the screenshot.

You need to use the stand-alone search bar to add a search engine on the Mycroft website, so you need to place the search bar temporarily on the Navigation Toolbar.

Those instructions are out of date. Right-click on the address bar and you will find an option to add the search engine.
