Add custom search engine is a free extension for the Firefox web browser to add any search engine to the Firefox web browser.

Firefox users have quite a few options when it comes to adding search providers to the web browser: add them on Mozilla AMO, run searches on sites to have them added, use the search bar to add Open Search search engines, or use the Mycroft Project website to do so.

Mozilla changed recently how search providers are added to Firefox. The initial version broke important functionality, e.g. the option to add search engines from AMO or MyCroft. These issues have been fixed for the most part.

Add custom search engine

Add Custom Search Engine is a browser extension that adds an option to Firefox to add any Internet search engine to the browser using it.

Just click on the icon that the extension adds to the Firefox toolbar to open the "add custom search engine" dialog.

The basic version requires just two parameters: a name for the search engine and the search URL. You need to replace the search term with the placeholder %s. The best way to go about it is to run a search for TEST on the search engine, copy the URL, and replace TEST with %s, e.g. https://www.ghacks.net/?s=TEST with https://www.ghacks.net/?s=%s.
