Search Extension for Mozilla?

[Bill Spikowski]

One of the many things I like about the Mozilla browser is the ability to
type a phrase into the URL line and do a search right from there.

Has anyone created an extension or method so that when I type a search
phrase but hit ENTER by habit, it will do the search instead of informing
me (duh) that "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"?

For instance, it would pick up the absence of a .com or .org suffix, or
notice the parentheses and understand that this is a search phrase, not a URL

Thought about using the Google search bar and typing into it?

Prefix the search term with the word "google," or, if you want
an alternative search engine to have an opportunity to make
some money, create a bookmark to
<http://www.dogpile.com/info.dogpl/search/web/%s> and give it
a keyword of "dogpile."

When you want to search dogpile, type "dogpile <search term>"
in the URL line.

In the Mozilla browser, go to the URL:
about:config

Look for the preference:
keyword.enabled

Double-click on it, and set the value to true.

For more info on about:config, see <http://ilias.ca/mozilla/customizing/>.
