How can I get firefox search suggestion in the firefox url bar?

Firefox | Search Or Enter Address

This is the same feature as in Firefox For Android, I can type something, get some suggestions, and choose which search engine I want to use to search that input with.

Visit the URL about:preferences#search in your Firefox browser (or navigate there through your menu: Edit → Preferences → Search).

You will see a section like the one below. Make sure both checkboxes are checked to get search suggestions in the location bar. enter image description here

  • This does not work for me? It doesn't display the Search for {name} with:? – blade19899 Mar 3 '16 at 10:37
  • @blade19899 You need to click on the magnifying glass at the right hand end of the url location edit box first to choose a non-default search engine. – DavidPostill♦ Mar 3 '16 at 16:01

  • @blade19899 i.imgur.com/fDlrFsS.png Pick a search engine and it will use it for the next search. – DavidPostill♦ Mar 3 '16 at 16:08
  • @DavidPostill I don't have that? I am on Mozilla Firefox Version 44.0.2 – blade19899 Mar 4 '16 at 8:22
