It's because Google, Yahoo, and others are already in the search bar. Why would you need to install it twice?

Besides Google is the search engine selected by default.

It says we put some popular search engines in the search bar. If you want to add more...

This means Google is one of the most popular

one more thing:
Amazon's A9 search engine & MSN search engine are the same..

meaning: MSN search has been upgraded to Live Search and Amazon's A9 search engine is based on Live Search..

how could this be?
(lets see what you have to say now ;))

Yep, Amazon did this a few weeks before Google released Checkout (or Base).

They quietly switched to Windows Live Search.

Oh well.

They're not the same. In A9, you can choose a lot of search sources, not just the web search.

thats not what Firefox is saying:
https://addons.mozilla.org/search-engines.php

<< A9
   Amazon's A9 SEARCH ENGINE. >>

Yes A9 is Amazon's Search Engine (Who gets technology from Windows Live)

It's like AOL being powered by Google.
