Hi Sam,
OH that one!
If you mean the one just to the right of the basic url textbox, then ctl-k does that for you. If you (1) select and copy text from some webpage, then ctl-k then ctl-v it will paste whatever your selection is in that searchbox over whatever (if anything) was in it before. BTW, ctl-f works exactly the same. The combo ctl-f ctl-v will paste whatever you've just selected into the searchbox in the lower lefthand corner of Firefox.
I hope I've understood you now.
Cheers,
Jonathan
