When there is an exception while reading the search settings, we should reset them. Otherwise, the user will not be able to search at all which is worse than losing their opensearch engines and default engine.

We should also:

  • Add telemetry on the frequency of such failures to help identify issues
  • Back up the corrupted settings file to reproduce issues
  • Display a banner informing the user
