Default How to manually install new search engine in FF?

That is without the use of the plug in while online, as all my sessions are from within sandboxie, so no way I can keep the change. I want to install ixquick as my default browser.

the following settings in about:config do not work

browser.search.order.1;Ixquick

browser.search.searchEnginesURL;https://ixquick.com

browser.search.selectedEngine;Ixquick HTTPS

I don't know if it works like in Chromium, but this is what I got:

-https://eu.ixquick.com/do/search/?q=%s

%s = the search query

Thanks m00nbl00d.

Got it done. replaced keyword.URL string with

https://ixquick.com/do/search?langua...cat=web&query=

But couldn't put it in the search engine list. Though I deleted Google, but I had to put Bing as I cant delete all. Using FF's manage search engine option I have to keep at least one.
