how to add google search to firefox?

I mistakenly changed the option when you right click on text in firefox from `search google` to `search godaddy`.
searching google without having to copy and paste the relevant text in a new tab was a useful little feature, and one i`d really like to get back.
Any idea how i can change this setting?

Next to the address bar area there is the Quick Search box. Click on the icon just to the left and select Google from the list, that should fix it.
You can remove the GoDaddy one if you want by clicking on Manage Search Engines.

To add different searches to that search box (and therefore able to search different sites using right-click), go here: mycroft.mozdev.org/

I find changing the active search engine at the top of the page in order to search by highlighting a bit annoying. I used a brilliant extension called Smart Search: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/188 so I have a list of any sites I want available to search from right-click and they open in a new tab.
