running XP on a laptop and have experienced this bug.  Reloading the complete
browser and add ons restores it but only for a few days.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

i can confim this on 1.5 Beta 1 and 1.5 Beta 2. i cannot "Add Engines" to the
dropdown. I confirm the install with OK, but the new Engine isn't displayed!

To do something with the plugin you will need to enter some text in the adjacent
search box and hit <enter> this will take you to the search results page as if
you had queried that term.

I have added a few engines and have used them to search for items successfully.
