When the user has to frequently search with various search plugins, switching search plugins can be made easier:

As the user starts typing/pasting a query in Firefox's search box, a dynamic list can automatically show up beneath the search box, showing relevant historical queries and available search buttons (each button represents a search plugin). This way, the user doesn't have to manually open up the search plugins dropdown list as usual, saving himself a point-and-click. What he now has to do is just to type/paste his query and press Enter to go with the default search plugin, or click a search button in the automatically opened dropdown list.
