Keyword searches should be detected

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1a. Perform a keyword search using an engine not already in the
synchronization rules. For example, if you have ‘bm’ as your keyword for a
Bugzilla@Mozilla search, enter [bm searchbox update] into the location bar.
1b. Alternatively, choose an engine not in the synchronization rules (such
as Bugzilla@Mozilla), select some text (such as ‘searchbox update’ in this
bug report), right-click, and search (choose ‘Search Google for "searchbox
update"’).
2. Look at the search bar.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see ‘searchbox update’. Instead, I don’t see it.

Please provide any additional information below.
The extension should, first, automatically detected these searches.
Secondly, it should skip parsing URLs for those searches. This would, thus,
increase performance slightly.

Firefox should really do this. There is a bug[1] for the 1b case.
