A search plugin lets you search a website directly from the browser without needing to go to the website first. So in my first post's example that would be me typing "bl2 siren" in my url bar and having my browser direct me to the Borderlands Wikia without me navigating there first.

As a side note, it turns out it was because "go search" was turned off for some reason. Of course now that I made an account I was able to change that setting on my account page, so problem solved.

But I wonder why it was recently turned off by default for non-users? Unless it was always off by default and my browser was doing something weird. I couldn't find any other discussions about this change anywhere else. Either way, problem solved.
