Heavy mouse users will find this addon very useful. Scroll Search Engines lets you change an active search engine by scrolling the mouse over the search bar or search context menu (i.e. when you’ve highlighted a word on the page and right-clicked to search the web for it).

The add-on also supports the following keyboard shortcuts: CTRL+K and CTRL+SHIFT+K to switch between the search engines. Optionally you can also set to scroll search plugins in a loop by configuring it in the addon options.
If you (like myself) seldom use a mouse (and are rather a touchpad addict), you may want to try this addon - Quick Search Bar. It places the search engine buttons inside the search bar instead of the drop down menu.

The icons are also placed inside your right-click context menu:
