As far as I concerned last released FF/vimperator is 2.0.0.14/0.5 and
there's no keyword-editing.

I've been using vimperator for some time and I already know how these
keywords used. Question was: WHERE do vimperator gets search engine
aliases? Why it uses "google" for Google engine and  not something
else?
