That's just the .../ncr link others mentioned. Setting preferences from
that page is as useless as setting them from google.pt, the tips keep
coming in Portuguese. Of course, I could use only that link and give up
using the search window in FF panel. I can give up FF as well.


However, before giving up: have you tried to look in
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchplugins/google.src
(that should be the searchplugin of the FF panel)

and edit it with an English URL?
My file is as such:

# Mozilla/Google plug-in by [EMAIL PROTECTED]

<search
   name="Google"
   description="Google Search"
   method="GET"
   action="http://www.google.com/search";
   queryCharset="utf-8"
>

<input name="q" user>
<inputnext name="start" factor="10">
<inputprev>
<input name="ie" value="utf-8">
<input name="oe" value="utf-8">

<interpret
    browserResultType="result"
    charset = "UTF-8"
    resultListStart="<!--a-->"
    resultListEnd="<!--z-->"
    resultItemStart="<!--m-->"
    resultItemEnd="<!--n-->"
>
</search>

<browser
    update="https://addons.mozilla.org/searchplugins/updates/google.src";

updateIcon="https://addons.mozilla.org/searchplugins/updates/google.gif";
    updateCheckDays="1"

I haven't tested, but I think that if you change 
http://www.google.com/search with

http://www.a-working-google-in-english-url.whatever/search

you could have your preferred behaviour hardcoded.
