The Firefox browser offers a handy little Search Box, located to the right of the address bar, that lets you quickly find what you're looking for on a number of websites. By default, any keywords entered are automatically submitted to Google's search engine. However, Firefox gives you the ability to modify which engine or site is utilized by the browser's Search Box. A handful of options are already available when you first install Firefox. There are plenty more out there that you can install on your own. The list below profiles 12 of these, listed in alphabetical order.
