However an extension called Search Engine Ordering allows the user to do this. (This extension also allows to reorder and delete search plugins, but bugs are already filed for that, so won't bring that up much). Opera 9 P2, Google Toolbar 4 Beta for IE allow you to create custom plugins. Merging Add a Keyword along with Creating Search Plugin would be great Reproducible: Always

Sounds like something already part of the roadmap for Fx2, Gavin?

This is not something that's going to be useful to more than a small group of users, once bug 261124 is fixed. Marking WONTFIX, an extension can be written to have whatever number of forms, and call addSearchEngineWithDetails.
