There isn't much description :/

This is how Firefox defines search engines, by specifying one or more paths in the "chrome_settings_overrides" key in the manifest.json file. (There are no extension code files.)

You can see Mozilla's old Twitter search plugin extension code here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-esr68/source/browser/components/search/extensions/twitter

I only kept the English URL and removed the "partner" parameter.

I actually have no idea whether this still works after the changes at Twitter/X in recent years. Maybe it needs a new URL or maybe it is blocked now. ??
