I have these Firefox bookmarklets that I made to help me search online shops faster. Very handy when comparing prices or just looking to see if someone carries the item i'm looking for. The result is the same as a searchplugin except these are in the bookmarks view. To add them to your Bookmarks:

Copy the entire coding from the javascript code below (one for each). Make sure its all on one line. Now open the Bookmark Manager, click on File, New Bookmark.
Paste the above into the Location line and give it a name. Now click on OK and move the bookmarklet to where you want it. I keep all of mine right above the bookmark folders and inserted a separator line to make easy to view.
Now, when you want to search the site, where ever you are on the web, just click the bookmarklet, enter the info into the popup and enter. Now you will get a search. Or highlight a word on any webpage, and click the bookmarklet and you'll be taken to the site with the search results.

I believe they work with IE as well.

Scubatoys: javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Keywords...',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://www.scubatoys.com/store/search_results.asp?iLevel=1&txtsearchParamCat=ALL&txtsearchParamMan=ALL&txtsearchParamVen=ALL&txtsearchParamType=ALL&txtFromSearch=fromSearch&txtsearchParamTxt='+escape(Qr)+'&Submit=Search'

LeisurePro: javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Keywords...',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://www.leisurepro.com/Catalog.aspx?Op=dtSearch&Term='+escape(Qr)

Divers Direct/World Water Sports: javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Keywords...',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://www.diversdirect.com/scripts/ecatalogisapi.dll/ItemSearch?Template=CONVERT890CONVRT&searchinput='+escape(Qr)


Hope they are useful to someone. If you have one specifically that you need let me know and I'll make it for you.
 
Just wanted to add another one:

Divers Alert Network:
javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Keywords...',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://www.google.com/u/dan?q='+escape(Qr)+'&Search.x=10&Search.y=13'
