Different Engines, Different Results

In April 2005, Dogpile.com collaborated with researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania State University to measure the overlap and ranking differences of the leading Web search engines in order to gauge the benefits of using a metasearch engine to search the Web.
The study evaluated the search results from 10,316 random user-defined queries across a sample of search sites; the results found that only 3.2% of first page search results were the same across the top three search engines for a given query.

So when you mispell something in the firefox searchbox and google suggets an alternative, you click on it and your searchbox will be updated with the correct spelling as well!
If you want include trovando support for Search Synchronizer simply open up the extension manager on firefox (tools=>extensions). Scroll down until you see Search Synchronizer and double click on it. The search synchronizer options dialog will open. Select the tab labled "custom" and click the "add" button. A small dialog box will appear in which you should enter
