   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...
