It would be very useful to be able to add multiple search fields to the toolbars.  I spend much of my time in Firefox utilizing different search engines from the toolbar search field, and it would be extremely useful to have a toolbar of search fields, each set to a particular search engine, to eliminate the need to access te drop-down list and vastly increasing productivity.  It seems like such a feature should be easy to implement, and will be useful to others.

Toolbar Thinger offers this functionality:

I don't think there's enough demand to justify putting this into Firefox.
