If it wasn’t for Vimperator, I would still be using Epiphany instead of Firefox. Compare how you create a custom search engine in both:
Epiphany
- Create a bookmark of a result page of the search engine (Ctrl-D)
- Replace the search term with %s in the URL
Firefox
- Write up an XML file according to the OpenSearch spec
- Figure out how to load that file into Firefox
- Figure out how to get that XML file right – Firefox just says that it doesn’t support this search engine
- …
End of rant.

W Firefox:
1. Kliknij prawym na pole wyszukiwania
2. “Add keyword for this search” (Załóżmy, że wpisałeś srch)
3. W polu adresu (ctrl-l) wpisz: srch słowo-szukane
For people not learning Polish;
1. Right mouse on search field (on website)
2. Choose “Add keyword…” (i assume you’ve chosen srch)
3. In address field write: srch search-term
I use it a lot, its very handy.

oinopion, dziękuję.
Problem is that it doesn’t work with vimperator, as that needs real search plugins, not just a keyword for a URL.
Epiphany doesn’t even have vimperator, of course, so that is all a bit unfair :)
