This is not working for me the way you describe. I did create a new
bookmark in Firefox, in the Quick Searches folder, with exactly the
name, location, and keyword (and description) you specfied.
Then, to try it, in the Firefox location bar I typed
j copula locale
From Google I got a long list of hits NONE of which, on the first page
at least, were from jsoftware.com!
What am I not doing, or doing wrong? I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.3 under
Windows.
Of course if I go to the Quick Searches folder and click the bookmark I
created, it will insert into the location bar the string
site:jsoftware.com %s
and then if I replace the "%s" with, say, "copula locale", it will of
course restrict the search to jsoftware.com. But that's not the point
of the quick-search keywords -- the point is NOT to have to type all that!

I just noticed something in firefox that seems handy.
If I use the "Organize Bookmarks" option, there's a "Quick Searches"
folder, where each bookmark also has a keyword. Apparently, if you
enter that keyword into the location bar, anything that follows get
substituted into that bookmark in place of the %s you can put into the
bookmark itself.
More specifically, if you use "New Bookmark" from this window, you can
create bookmarks like this (you don't have to put them in the Quick
Searches folder, but neatness seems to suggest that they should go
there if that's their purpose).
So, for example, I created a new bookmark andd gave it the properties:
Name: J software
Location: http://google.com/search?q=site:jsoftware.com+%s
Keyword: j
Description: Type "j <stuff>" in the location bar to search jsoftware's site
And, now, I can type j copula locale in the location bar, and get a list
of relevant J pages...
