Search suggestions
With Firefox, there is no need to type the long search terms each time. Firefox remembers the searches made by you. Therefore, the next time when you are trying to enter a search term, which you had already used, Firefox provides you suggestions from which you can choose. For example, while entering the search term “property” you just have to type P and Firefox will provide you suggestions of words that you have already used and that begin with “p”. In these suggestions, you will also find the word property. Just select it and press enter.
In addition to this, you can also use the search bar as a calculator, convertor and more.
Integrated Web Search
This feature makes searching the web very simple and fast. There is a box inline on the toolbar, on right side of your location bar. In this inline, you can add web engines of your choice. Whenever you want to search for anything, you can just type the search terms in this box, choose the web engine from the drop down menu, and select the one of your choice. After this you, just need to click enter and you will get the search results.
The width of this inline is adjustable and therefore you can alter it as per your wish. You can even make it longer that the locations bar itself.
Hundreds of search engines
In the integrated web search feature described above you can add more hundreds of search engines if you want. Thus, it provides you the ability to choose your favorite search engine with just one click. Thus, you can change the search engine for each search you make.
Mozilla Firefox comes with some preset search engines in the integrated search box. Some of these are Google, Yahoo, Amazon.com, Answers.com, Creative Commons, eBay, and Wikipedia.
