This is something that I don't like about firefox. They have a ton of cool stuff, but I feel that they are always lacking a few things.

What I always give as an example, is how to add custom searches (Amazon, Reddit, HN, etc), you save the query url and add a keyword. Works very well to type `rdt something` and have the results. But: there's no option in the menu to see all keywords/search engines you have registered.

My workaround for this is to title the bookmark, e.g. "kw:rdt Page Title".

Imperfect, but the convenience is worthwhile for the dozen-or-so keyword searches I use.

Yeah, but that's kinda the point: seems that there's always a need for a workaround. Also, I know I'm going to forgot to rename a bunch :/
Yes there is. Saved keywords are just (Parametersteuerung) bookmarks so open the bookmark manager and you will find them.
I know they are bookmarks. But the point is that there is no way in the bookmark manager to filter bookmarks that have keywords.
