This isn't possible at the moment - the search bar doesn't 'know' what site you're on...
I agree it would be a useful addition though - may file a bug.
(though I suppose it's easy to provide with a simple Greasemonkey hack, and I'll bet it had been done already, but...)
So Here's a complete enhancement:
I want the context menu (right click) to allow me to send the selected text not only to the currenly-selected search engine (default today)
But also to the default search engine (which I get to define) and a site-specific search using the default search engine (which is a feature that needs to be added of course)
Also, it would be nice to have the search available in the context of a textarea element (like the box I'm typing in now).
The other features of GoogleBar would also be nice to have but not a must (search keyword highlighting, etc)
Thanks!

I'd love to have that feature too!

how can it not be available
how can it not be available for firefox when it's available for camino (also mozilla?)
that makes no sense whatsoever.
I am also searching for the same plugin/addon for firefox mac as I use it on camino for Mac and it is fantastic. it's needed for safari too.
why not
this would be a great add to have this feature soon
