Once installed, Safari works just as before -- except you now have a handy drop-down menu, as seen at left (larger version). Select your search engine, then enter your search phrase and hit Enter, and off you go. If that's not enough for you, you can use the Edit Search Channels option to create your own definitions, change the default engine, and place the channels in any order you wish, complete with separators.
According to the documentation, the last-chosen search engine should remain active until you change it again. However, in my testing, it always reverted to the default engine after one search. I'm not sure if this is particular to my machine or not, but it's a small annoyance -- having multiple engines available is a huge timesaver.
