(Whiteboard: [fxsearch]) 

Currently nsSearchService is a mess of encodings.

If no encoding is specified when an engine is added via addEngineWithDetails, we use windows-1252.

the default query charset is ISO-8859-1.

Per the spec, we're supposed to be defaulting to UTF-8 for the encoding query:

http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1#The_.22InputEncoding.22_element

The change to windows-1252 was because of this bug:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1372994

But for some reason the query charset wasn't changed.
