I want to remove search engines on version 65 using GPO, but cannot find the exact syntax/name to enter into the policy setting.

I am using Windows 10 - 1809. I have Firefox 65.01 installed on a test PC. I have loaded the GPO templates from version 1.6 download on the domain controller. I want to enable the template option to remove all but one search engine (Google) from the list of available search engines. I cannot find any documentation/examples of the correct name or syntax to remove the unwanted entries. Entering the displayed name in either the computer or user area does not work (attached image). Can you please provide the correct entries to remove them?

I've moved the question to Firefox for Enterprise.

This is about the name of the search engine a shown on the about:preferences#search page (ShortName field in XML file).

It's just the name of the search engine

So Twitter for instance. In the list.
