Is Firefox Quantum going to have the Custom Search Engine tool?

I would like to know if the feature to create your own search engines that are activated with a few keys in the search bar. The feature allows you to search sites like eBay without having to navigate to eBay then enter your search query. This allows you to type ebay then hit tab, enter your search, then hit return and it takes to you a search of ebay. Super awesome. 


 I use this feature heavily and it's the only thing keeping me from moving from Chrome.
