Once keyword.URL Hack! is installed, you can visit about:config and add keyword.URL

I saved this extension locally. It is called keyword@evilpie.com.xpi

Managing your search engine ∞

Without an addon, you would be forced to use one of the supplied search engines.

1. right-click in empty space on your tab bar, select Customize
2. drag the search bar into the tab bar
3. close the Customize Toolbar interface
4. click the dropdown box to the left of the search bar, select Manage Search Engines...
5. move your preferred search engine to the top of the list and click ok
6. right-click in empty space on your tab bar, select Customize
7. drag the search bar into the Customize Toolbar interface

8. close the Customize Toolbar interface

Editing the search engine list ∞

That search engine list can be customized by doing technical shit.

I'm not going to bother investigating.
