How do I call one of the custom search engines I made from command line?

I've created a custom search using the keyword "tanh" but I cannot find out for the life of me how to call this custom search from the Windows command line. I can't find out what search query the search box is using because of how it was programmed and I'm sure my inability to decode it. I can find the information in the custom search engine directory but it tells me the site I'm using but not how it's querying the results to make a custom search for my command line.

If I could just do, "firefox.exe "tanh input " that would be great.. if someone knows how to call a custom search, or to view how it's being used, that would be most beneficial because I have over 120 things I need to search for that if I could just drop this in command line, it'd be super helpful. Also for future use it would be nice..

hello, those keyword searches can be triggered from within the firefox address bar (not the windows command line).
