I wonder how many users have changed the default Location bar search provider in their mozilla firefox browser configuration (see support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Location+bar+search for details)

Just like the “sevices” aka “websites” in the video, you could more easily navigate directly to the desired keyword / service by typing in 1 word into the empty location bar today (if you have browse.name name configured as your Location bar search provider).

Simply set the prefix to:

http://www.browse.name/direct.php?query=

and delete the suffix.

Piece of cake! It’s all there — today. It was probably there yesterday. I don’t know how long it’s been there — 1 year? 2 years? …?

How many people have used it?
