Can I Customize Firefox So That When I Change The Search Engine In The Search Bar, It Will Automatically Do A Search?

[Urbano]

The scenario is I do a search via the search bar(the one on the upper right). I'm not happy with the result so I'd like to switch to another search engine, amazon, wikipedia, you name it. How can I configure(or maybe get a add-on) so that when I switch the search engine(and there is text on the bar), firefox will automatically search with the new engine?

I use the Groowe Search Toolbar extension It's adds a new toolbar to the top of your Firefox browers(abot the tbas bar) and allows you to choose from a bunch of pre-installed search engines, as well as to add your own.https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/534/Groowe Search Toolbarby Milos MileusnicGroowe Search Toolbar bundles toolbar functions for many search engines, shopping sites, download sites, including Google toolbar, Yahoo, Amazon, Msn, Ask, Download.com, Wikipedia, Digg, del.icio.us and others.
