=Searching with the default search engine=
When you search using the address bar, this will use your default search engine. Simply do this:
#Click the address bar or press {for win,linux}{key Ctrl+L}{/for}{for mac}{key Command+L}{/for} to focus it. You can skip this if you have just opened Firefox, a new tab or a new window.
#Type your search term in the address bar.
#Press {for win,linux}{key Enter}{/for}{for mac}{key Return}{/for}, or click the arrow on the right end of the address bar.
To change your default search engine, see [[Change your default search settings in Firefox]].
You can't search for every search term in this way; for example, when it's treated as a web address, a [[Assign shortcuts to search engines|search engine keyword]] or a [[Bookmarks in Firefox#w_how-to-use-keywords-with-bookmarks|bookmark keyword]]. To be able to search for every search term, do one of the following before typing it:
*Press {for win}{key Ctrl+E} or {key Ctrl+K}{/for}{for linux}{key Ctrl+J} or {key Ctrl+K}{/for}{for mac}{key Command+K} or {key Command+Option+F}{/for} to focus the address bar for a search with the default search engine. (The Search bar will get focused instead, if it's enabled. You can use it too.)
*Or, type {key ?}{key Space} in the address bar to choose the default search engine.
*Or, choose a search engine (see below). (You can also do this '''after typing''' if your search term looks like a web address or bookmark keyword.)
*Or, click the Search field on the [[New Tab page in Firefox|New Tab page]].
*Or, click the [[Add the Search bar to your Firefox toolbar|Search bar]].

You can access your top sites from the drop-down list that appears when you click the address bar. If you’ve installed Firefox for the first time, it suggests top-ranked sites by default.
[[Image:Search with Firefox 2]]
Top sites appear in the same order as the shortcut tiles in your [[New Tab page in Firefox|New Tab page]] (you can [[Customize items on your Firefox New Tab page|customize them on your New Tab page]]).
==Search shortcuts==
<!-- (Alternative content on “Search shortcuts” section for locales where “Search with…” suggestions don't appear:)
When you search the web on the address bar, your default search engine is used automatically.
If you want to use another installed search engine, you can type in the search engine shortcut or just the first part (for example: ''@a'' or ''@amazon'') then press {for win,linux}{key Enter}{/for}{for mac}{key Return}{/for} or {key →} and type in your search term (for example: ''@amazon adventure books'').

-->
When you click in the address bar, clicking a search engine in the drop-down list (like Google or Amazon) will autofill the address bar with a search engine shortcut (for example: ''@amazon'') so you can perform a search without having to load the search page. Just enter your search term after the search shortcut to perform your search (for example: ''@amazon adventure books'').

You can [[Assign shortcuts to search engines|assign shortcuts to search engines]]. When you type @ into the address bar, a list of the first 10 web search engines that have a shortcut is shown. You can select one by pressing {key ↓} or by clicking it.
You can also use shortcuts to search Firefox Add-ons, Bookmarks(*), Tabs(%) and History(^).
{note}'''Tip''': If you don't want to use the mouse or a search shortcut does not appear in the list, you can type in the shortcut or just the first part (for example: ''@a'' or ''@amazon'') then press {for win,linux}{key Enter}{/for}{for mac}{key Return}{/for} or {key →}, and type in your search term.{/note}

[[Image:Search with Firefox 6]]
{note}'''Note:''' You can change your search settings to use your favorite search engine as the default or turn search suggestions on or off. To learn more, see [[Change your default search settings in Firefox]] and [[Search suggestions in Firefox]].{/note}

*if you want to see only search suggestions,
*or if you want to see search suggestions although the setting ''Show search suggestions in address bar results'' is disabled (but the setting ''Provide search suggestions'' has to be enabled).

You can also begin your search with a {key ?} to prevent autocomplete (for example: ''?mozilla<!-- -->.org''). This will also prevent your search from autocompleting with bookmarks, smart keywords and search shortcuts.
