When entering a partial url in the bar (i.e., amazon instead of www.amazon.com) it defaults to Yahoo. Want it to use Google. How do I change it?

Using Firefox. I type in a partial url, such as amazon as opposed to www.amazon.com, it shows results in Yahoo. It used to do Google. I don't know what I changed or how to get it back to Google. Note: this is NOT the search box on the far right side. It is in the main address bar at the center of the page.

Thank you
