You can assign a word to use in front of your search to pick a search engine in Firefox and that has worked for years.

@taladar you mean the @ syntax? Yes, on desktop. And nobody knows it. And it's cumbersome.

Keywords don't need @. I'm using g for google, d for duckduckgo, mg for google maps etc.
