How do I change default search engine when 'add-ons' does not find it - trying to set Google Australia - www.google.com.au
Manage search engines does not find google australia

The manage search engines is linked to the wrong place but I think it's just as well, because anybody can put up a search engine and now many of them are partnership engines to report back some statistics to that person. It used to point to http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html then I think they also included Google's project. I used to go to Mycroft to pick up 5-15 or so easy to find or specialized and to create my own for the others because it would take less time than to find something.
But on the link provided from the Manage search engines is a better alternative, and that is to make your own search engines by right-click on the search form on a site to make your own.

So you would bring up http://www.goggle.com.au then right click in the search form and use "Add to Search Bar..."

by the way Firefox itself provides you the ability to right-click in a search form and create a keyword for the search which helps you create the bookmark and include the keyword. You would right click in the search form and choose "Add a Keyword for this Search..."
I use Google almost exclusively from the search engines, and keyword shortcuts (bookmarks) that I created for most others. With my own keyword bookmark I can search addons with Google and the site, exclusions and additional search arguments are within the bookmark.
