I don't know a way to do that with the sherlock format. We're naughty
close to ship Firefox 2, though (mozilla.dev.apps.firefox would have
been the appropriate newsgroup, too).

Firefox 2 uses MozSearch, which is largely compatible with OpenSearch,
find more information on that on
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Creating_MozSearch_plugins.

The essential line there would then be

<Param name="string1" value="Name__!__{searchTerms}"/>
