How to add a search engine manually to Firefox. (No, not via add ons)
How to add a search engine manually to Firefox?
For example, what should I do add a custom search engine? It is not available via add-ons. When I go to the search page, Firefox doesn't detect it and it doesn't prompt me or allow me to add it as a search provider. I am looking for options similar to that in Chromium browser. let's say for instance, if I want to add redhat bugzilla to my search providers, I can go to search settings and just add https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=%s Is there any similar option available in Firefox?

hello rat, there are other sites which host many more search plugins, see http://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html?name=redhat for example.
in order to create a search plugin manually you can use a tool like http://ready.to/search/en/
I use these;
Add to Search Bar {web link} Make any pages' search functionality available in the Search Bar
Context Search {web link} Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine you want to use for each search.
SearchThisSite {web link} Allows you to search the website currently viewed with the website's internal search engine (and not the default FF search engine or an external engine)
