Getting rid of MyWebSearch - not toolbar, just search engine

It's not a huge deal, but it's quite annoying: I believed I got rid of MyWebSearch from my computer completely (it's not on my add-remove programs list) and there isn't even a toolbar that I can see on Firefox or IE. However, whenever I try to search from the website bar rather than the search bar (excuse me for the lack of proper vocabulary, I'm not savvy with little details) MyWebSearch is used rather than Google. I have no idea how or why, and when I tried to find the files that potentially caused this (C: - Program Files - Mozilla Firefox - chrome) they were not there. Should I re-install FF or is there anything I can do? (Note: I have Malwarebytes and Norton installed and both have found nothing, if that helps at all.)

== I began using FF again 2-3 weeks ago
