+In order to get gnome shell search provider registered and active
+you need to install the firefox-search-provider.ini and firefox.desktop files system wide.
+
+The locations may be distro specific, for instance Fedora and Ubuntu expect
+the files at:
+
+/usr/share/gnome-shell/search-providers/firefox-search-provider.ini
+/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
+
+firefox.desktop is a system-wide Firefox launcher. It may come with your
+distribution or you can use this one. Update name of firefox desktop file at firefox-search-provider.ini
+according your actual file at /usr/share/applications.
+
+firefox-search-provider.ini registers Firefox as a search provider.
+When the file is correctly installed you can see Firefox as a searchable application
+at Settings -> Search at Gnome controll center.
+
+Gnome shell search provider is active only when Firefox is running. When it's active
+you can see it as org.mozilla.Firefox.SearchProvider D-Bus service.
