Unlink the address bar search from search box search provider.
The address bar search is somehow now linked to the quick search box. When I set it to for example youtube they the address bar searches the same string. How do I change that so that back. Before when I searched in the address bar I got google search and youtube in the search box. Thank you in advance.

A lot of malware used to modify the keyword.URL pref to link to a specific search page. To make it easier to prevent this all pages now use the same default search engine.

hello ayande, yes consolidating the search options in the search-bar, address-bar and the default homepage was a deliberate change in firefox 23 by developers. you can use the keyword search extension by mike kaply to work around that though...

Another possibility is to disable keyword search (keyword.enable = false) and use a (one letter) keyword search for searching via the location bar.
You can set a keyword for an installed search engine via Manage Search Engines (click the search engines icon on the search bar).
Then you can easily switch between search engines when searching via the location bar and you also do not have a problem with one word searches.
