Too true. I've wondered for a while what the keyword field in a bookmark was for.
I also found out just the other day that I can add search engines to Firefox[1] if the site supports the OpenSearch API[2]. I didn't know they could be added this way, nor did I know about OpenSearch, if I hadn't have searched for an easier way to search a site I frequent then I would never have known.
