How to
There are a few things to do in order to use OpenSearch efficiently in your browser.
Add them all
The easiest way to add them to Firefox is to show the search bar in
toolbar. To do so, open Firefox's settings, go to Search > Search Bar
and choose "Add search bar in toolbar":
Then reload the page; you should see a "+" icon on the magnifying-glass
in the search bar. Click on it and add the OpenSearch you want:
Use them with shortcuts
Once again, open Firefox's settings, go to Search > Search Shortcuts:
from there you can define a search shortcut for every OpenSearch you've
added.
Usage
Now that they are installed, you can switch back to the "Use the address
bar for search and navigation". With shortcuts defined, you can use them
to select a search engine:
💡 Use keyboard shortcut F6 or ctrl+k
to highlight the URL bar.
