Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect)

Description

[Alan Bramley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

Categories created via the Sidebar/Search/"Edit Categories" function are not remembered. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Preferences/Internet Search to Advanced.
2. Via Sidebar/Search/Edit Categories create a category.
3. Add a seachplugin to that category and press OK



Actual Results:  
1. In the "Search within" drop-down the new category is shown - this is correct
2. Re-open "Edit Categories" and no categoreis exist in the drop-down - wrong
3. Close and re-open Mozilla - the created category is now also missing 
   from the "Search within" drop-drop and still missing from 
   Edit Categories - wrong

Expected Results:  
1. Defined categories should be remembered.
2. The search plugins assigned to those categories should be remembered.

1. Observed this on both a clean 1.5 installation and also on an upgrade
   installtion (1.3->1.5)
2. The defined categories can be seen inside Profile/search.rdf but Mozilla does
   not seem to be reading this information.
3. Deleted Profile/search.rdf, fault persists with re-created rdf.
4. Deleted Profile/XUL.xfl, fault persists with re-created xfl.
5. Search still continues to work OK from "All Engines".

I was experiencing this problem in Firebird as well.  I thought it was only a
Firebird issue, but it appears to be fixed now in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031117 Firebird/0.7.  

I've also tried using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b)
Gecko/20031110 and it too seems to be working now.
