You can set keywords for your search engines and do searches like this,

google <search_phrase>
yahoo <search_phrase>

(assuming google and yahoo are the keywords for ww.google.com and
www.yahoo.com respectively)

Or, you can hand edit the config variable
"browser.search.defaultenginename" in about:config to your preferred
search provider.

There are probably many more ways to do this, hence a separate thread
would be so much cleaner for the archive and easier for the next
person with a similar question.
