Why you did not add keywords for these searches?
e.g. ddg (DuckDuckGo), sw (SalixOS Wiki), sf (SalixOS Forum)

In the search engine dropdown menu of firefox, there's an option like 'Manage search engines'. If you click that and select a search engine in the popping up window, you can define a keyword for it.

I see. I thought just adding it in that menu would make it appear in the search engine xml file. But it's stored in this file .mozilla/firefox/n34oa4f6.default/search.sqlite and it doesn't seem possible to change that from a package.

I don't know. :oops:
I just thought about attaching "smart bookmarks" <https://duckduckgo.com/html/?t=salix&q=%s> instead but then again I don't think that it is possible nor advisable to do.

It surely can be done with a default profile.
