1. open the link

2. right-click on the search box, select "add a keyword for this search"

3. for "keyword: " type "def" , for "name: " type "Google Dictionary Search"

Now in your address bar, type "def uniquity"

While you're at it, replace all your search engines with this method and remove your search box. optional: install tiny-menu, move everything from your navigation-toolbar to your top toolbar, hide navigation-bar.

That sounds awesome, but it doesn't work for me. I did all that and yet FF just does an "I'm feeling lucky" for whatever I type in.

Edit: It only works when I add keywords to the already installed search engines.
