Search shortcuts in Firefox

Long ago I added some search shortcuts to my Firefox. I’d like now to make some changes to that but I can’t find those shortcuts now in my Settings, even if they still work:

Only some of them show up there. Where are the others hidden?
Moreover, I think time ago you could add a new search shortcut to FFox without installing any extension. Is this required now?

Thanks!

Hi! Maybe you’re referring to searching using bookmark keywords?

If you have the following bookmark, with the keyword mdn:

Then typing mdn OpenSearch in the address bar would open the search results for “OpenSearch” on MDN.

Oh yes, that’s it!

I had forgotten this other method to make in-site searches directly from the address bar. Thanks Megan for your help!

And if some Ffox developer is reading this, please consider adding a mention to this other method under the Search Shortcuts section in Ffox’s Settings :bulb: :slight_smile:

Best regards
