I've uninstalled the Babylon addon, but if I search from the address field, the search engine defaults to Babylon. Why isn't there a choice under Options?

Thank you. That's fixed it, but my question is still valid - why isn't there a choice of search engines in "Options" - as there is in Google Chrome?

The Mozilla developers usually leave such advanced settings to extensions developers.

How can choosing a search engine be an addon? It should be part of Firefox - as it is with Chrome and IE.
