I really appreciate @firefox adding the ability to enable custom search engines for searching with the address bar. As someone who just types my searches direct to the address bar, not having the option to use my search engine of choice was a problem that's now solved! #Firefox

@Boomkop3 Evidently, there was a way to do it but I could never figure out how. Now, you just go to a search engine you want to make as a default, open up the address bar drop-down for that search engine and there should be a button at the bottom of the drop-down menu that has the favicon for that search engine with a plus icon. Then, from there, you just set it as the default in the way you would with the built-in options!
