(firstly you should set a different default search engine)
It's been nice to use the Firefox setting to have a separate search bar. Your address bar will show more results from your history, which is often what I actually need. Then you can just hit the down arrow to select "Search with x" options.
My only minor quip is that your default search engine will be last in the list.
So the latest Firefox broke that for me. It seems to front-run my URLs as I type them and if the result is a 404 it sends me over to DDG with my URL as the search. :/ Really, really obnoxious but I haven't taken the time yet to paw through about:config to see if I can turn it off.
