A feature I'd really like to see, is what is known as "Smart bookmarks" in Galeon.
Smart bookmarks are small text-input areas in the toolbar which are tied to URLs
of the form
<protocol>://<head>%s<tail>
i.e for instance
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/results.asp?searchword=%s
for my dictionary-lookup field.
When entering a text into the field, then hitting Enter, the URL is called with
the text substituted for "%s" - so if I enter "bookmark" for the above example,
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/results.asp?searchword=bookmark
is opened. The bookmark thus emulates the dictionary lookup form on
http://dictionary.cambridge.org.
I'm not very happy with Galeon these days, but I'm addicted to this feature, so
I won't switch browsers until a different one has it...

between bookmark keywords and the search bar, we don't need a third custom
search option in Firebird

Sorry, I never noticed NeedleSearch, which is not exectly the same thing, but
might be a decent substitute. If it would only work, that is, the current
version doesn't actually do anything, as far as I can tell.
I find the keyword mechanism a bit awkward to use, mainly because you have to
delete the URL all the time.
