The nicest way I've found to do this is Firefox's "Add to Search Bar" extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3682

After installing the extension, you can right-click on a given site's search text entry area and choose "Add to search bar" from the shortcut menu.  The plug-in then adds the site to your Firefox's list of search-bar choices.

For example, I've used "Add to Search Bar" to quickly add the San Francisco Public Library, Thunderbird Extensions, and Firefox Extensions sites to my list of quickly-searchable searchbar choices...

Cheers & hope this helps,
