you mean it doesn't have any links to them *built in* with a search
field... that's only a convienience thing... you're not forced to use them
and don't even have to see them... in my firefox, i can easily remove them
from the bar and manually go to which ever one(s) i want to use... i can
also delete search engines from the list that i don't care to use... it is
just convienience...
