Is there a way to use different search engines on the main bar and on the small one without having to switch anything on the small one?

I want to use google when I type to search in the main bar and wikipedia on the small search bar on the right. However, they both seem to use the same search engine, depending on which one I've chosen on the small search bar. I want them to use different ones without having to click and change engines. How can I do that?

You cannot do that any more. That ability has been removed (I think to prevent spoofing of search engines).

You can use a (one letter) keyword search on the location/address bar and assign a keyword via "Manage Search Engines".

You can use the Keyword Search extension to specify which search engine to use for searching via the location/address bar.
