This issue was previously discussed on Reddit, please refer to the Reddit post for a very detailed description.

In Firefox > Settings > Search > Search Shortcuts some search engines a have pre-defined search keyword or keywords (mulitple) in some case. For example, DuckDuckGo has two pre-defined keywords:

@duckduckgo, @ddg

Where multiple keywords are present, they are comma-separated. Then, in then search bar, users can type @duckduckgo or @ddg and, either way, Firefox will use DuckDuckGo to perform the search. However, if I add multiple custom keywords, such as:

@duck, @searchduck

the keyword list now displays:

@duck, @searchduck, @duckduckgo, @ddg

but for some reason Firefox interprets the whole "@duck, @searchduck" string as one keyword, rather than "@duck" and "@searchduck" separately. It seems this is broken, so for now I'll just use a single custom keyword, but it would be nice if I could use multiples. Thanks!

Note that the title of the column is "Keyword" singular, the built-in ones gives the appearance of multiple keywords but there can only be one custom keyword.

I hadn't noticed that but then that is inconsistent with the fact that multiple keywords are actually supported, it's just that currently only one user-defined keyword is supported. Besides, the user-defined keyword may contain spaces, but (key)word by definition is a string of characters not containing whitespace, otherwise it'd be called a keyphrase I suppose.
