 * Ability to choose different search engines within the right-click menu option [Search <engine> for "<phrase>"] without changing the search bar selection
 **perhaps a submenu where you can choose a single search with one click but can select multiple search engines by holding down CTRL or ALT when selecting to open in individual tabs
+== Multiple search (alternative) ==
+See [[Alternative multiple searches|Mockup]] for pictures / details.
+* replace search bar with multiple search buttons, type searches in address bar
+* make single search buttons a drop-down menu, allowing to group different searches
+** add "choose all" entry to drop down menus, allowing to search in all engines in group, opening multiple tabs as suggested above
+* middle clicking opens in new tabs, of course :)
+* add a "clear text field" button into the address/search bar like in the one in Thunderbird's quick search. (maybe visible only on hover?)
+* if the "find tool" gets integrated into search, its additional buttons (previous, next, highlight, case-sensitive) could be displayed
+** inside the addressbar, next to search words
+** next to the find button (automaticly expanding by default. see mockup)
+* Hot keys:
+** either: remember the button that was used last (go or a search) and use that on Enter and Alt+Enter
+** or: only remember last search button (not go) and assign it to Ctrl+Enter and Ctrl+Alt+Enter
