Yes, I know in FB is not search panel yet fully implementes, but with WebBar
from http://basic.mozillanews.org/ it can be diplayed in the FireBird Sidebar.
Yes, displayed, but doesn't working much.

Search plugins and search panel in sidebar are very usefull in Mozilla, please
complete their implementation in the FB also.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install webbar FB extension to FB 0.6 or FB 0.6.1
2. Open Search panel in the sidebar
3. Choose some engine and try search form something

Actual Results:  
a) Always is used only the First search engine. There is not possible to change
to any other (you can check any, but only the first in the list is used).

b) The search results are not displayed in the search panel



Expected Results:  
Users want to choose any seach engine and see search results in the left panel.

Bugs on extensions shouldn't be filed in bugzilla.mozilla.org. They should be
reported to the extension author.

-> INVALID

Please reconsider. It looks like the code needed by the search sidebar (which
was in the Seamonkey suite) was removed from FB. This code has to be identified
and eventually put into FB itself.

Thank comm #2.

The problem is not in code of WebBar, because WebBar only allow you to display
Search Panel from FB code. And because in FB installation Search Panel wasn't
used, his code is probably corrupted and nobody tested it before.

So reconsider, if you want Seach Panel in the FB.
If yes, there is some problem in the code in comm.jar!content/communicator/search

The code is not there for a reason. If the webbar extension wants to have this
extension, it should supply that code.

-> INVALID again.
