Hi.
I want to add www.archive.org Web URL Wayback Machine as search engine with shortcut “arc”.
Archive.org is also a search engine for archived pages.
With Opera Browser this works easily in settings with adding:
https://web.archive.org/web/*/%s
But with Firefox it seems each page must have an allowance from FF with a “+” in the search field or 3 points “…” besides the address bar.
I don not see anything of that on archive.org.
How can i manage this manually it there is no other way?
Please without FF permission or Addon 
Thank you.

ok, thanks 
This is not quite the same as a real search engine shortcut but a smart bookmark that will do its job well.
A FF option to accept all sites with search function would be nicer

… the Wayback Machine is not exactly a search engine.
I tried the https://web.archive.org/web/*/%s
approach in Opera.
For Firefox I should recommend extensions such as these:

+1 I agree, it should be implemented
Changing the %s to a capital worked for me!
https://web.archive.org/web/*/%S
