Brief Summary
Firefox have this bar in the bottom of the "address window" that lets you choose where the search will happen, if you want to search a different place then the default search engine

Details:

To some extend its very similar to "Bangs" but not all search engines support that. and this is way more intuative for people who dont know about bangs

I think this could be super usefull, especially if you could configure what sites you have as options. example.. github, youtube, wiki. whatever fits your work/freetime needs

My only problem with Firefoxs implementation is that when you actually click the icon of where you want to search, it inserts kinda like a bang instead of taking you directly there, so you still have to press enter after.
I dont see a need for that extra step.

    Longely changed the title to Firefox style search options bar .

        Perfect! this looks very close to Firefox

        Only thing is this is not only relevant for actual Search engines. But also for other stuff like YouTube, Wiki, Github etc..
        So maybe calling it Search engines is a bit missleading or gives the impression it can only be used for that

        Not sure what would be a better term tho. Firefox calls it Search Shortcuts

            Brief Summary
            In firefox, you can enable what orion calls "bookmark invocation keywords" but instead of searching stuff up, you can search bookmarks, tabs, history, and "actions"

            Details:
            i realize that orion already can search bookmarks, tabs, and history already, but these allow you to filter the results to only search that type

            orion probably can implement:

            • bookmarks
            • tabs
            • history
            • actions
            • saved windows
            • devices

            Image/Video:

            actions:
            basically shortcuts that manage the browser. see the image below

                • something shows only Bookmarks searched by "something"
                  ^ something shows only History searched by "something"
                  ? something shows only Suggestions for "something"
                  % something shows only Tabs searched by "something"

                Nice power user feature import from Firefox. You can find Firefox documentation for it here.
