It keeps bothering me that I cannot manage the Keyword for "One-click search engines". The keyword could be displayed as follows in Firefox 38.0.1 
Through the help link, I found ways to add/hide/remove search engines. However, it did not give any suggestion on how to modify the search engine.
The practical motivation for me to learn how to change the keyword is that:
I am using Vimperator with Firefox, where pressing o (or t) followed by TAB, then keyword for search engine, will enable the finishing a search query sequence. Example:
:open google happy 2015
will launch a Google result page searching for "happy 2015".
So, the syntax is: ":open keyword search-pattern". Can anyone tell me how to change the "keyword" of a search engine? Or, give instruction on how to create a search engine of my own? (either on the web or locally loaded is fine.)

To change the default search engine in Firefox, click the three-line icon in the top-right corner. Then go to Options > Search and choose a search engine from the Default Search Engine drop-down. If your preferred provider isn't listed, scroll down to Find more search engines.
Enabling or disabling search suggestions and select Settings. Select the Search panel and then check or uncheck the Provide search suggestions box in your Firefox search settings. To see search suggestions in the address bar drop-down, put a check mark next to Show search suggestions in address bar results.
Go to the preferences and click search. (type about:preferances#search in address bar and hit enter) Then scroll down to the Default Search Engine section and click the drop-down menu where it instructs the user to Choose the default search engine to use in the address bar and search bar.
To edit the keyword for a search engine, double-click on the search engine's entry, or highlight it and press F2.
