ALT key HUD web search in firefox

Is it possible to conduct a web search (In Firefox 14) from the HUD? (Ubuntu 12.04)

For example, Hitting The ALT key (to bring up the HUD menu for Firefox) and typing in a search term?

It doesn't seem to be a feature currently, and I was wondering, Is there a way to do something like this?

I was not able to find anyway to do it, but that is in no was definitive.

If you are just looking for a keyboard shortcut to do a search easily, that is already built into firefox. Ctrl+k will send you directly to the search box in the upper right hand corner of your browser.

Mozilla Help gives you all the keyboard shortcuts that are built into Firefox.

I realize that at best this is only a half answer to your actual question but it could still be helpful(I hope).

The features currently incorporated in HUD includes only the MENU options of Active application .

Throughout the Firefox Menu there is no such Option as Search using google or Duck Duck go, hence you can't search directly through HUD interface. HUD is currently in Active Development , hope such new features are designed in Future.
