112029 - Netscape Search Sherlock plugin appears to be broken in Mozilla builds

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect, P4)

Description

[Samir Gehani]

The results parser does not produce results when using the Netscape Search
Sherlock plugin.  You can type a search term in the URL bar and click the
"Search" button next to the URL bar or enter a term in the search sidebar tab
and click the "Search" button in the search sidebar tab: either way the results
page shows up in the content area but the search sidebar tab remains with an
empty list of results.

Fix is to use the working plugin shipping with production Netscape releases
including Netscape 6.2.

Attachment: Swap in working plugin. (Diff may look like we've hacked it but we really just swapped in one file for another.)

mass-verifying claudius' Fixed bugs which haven't changed since 2001.12.31.

if you think this particular bug is not fixed, please make sure of the following
before reopening:

a. retest with a *recent* trunk build.
b. query bugzilla to see if there's an existing, open bug (new, reopened,
assigned) that covers your issue.
c. if this does need to be reopened, make sure there are specific steps to
reproduce (unless already provided and up-to-date).

thanks!
