(Whiteboard: [PDT+] to make Netscape default for beta1; w/m minus on 3/3)

Currently, the browser has nothing preselected for My Sidebar Search panel. There is often NO pre-selected search engine, and the pre-selected category is supposed to be the "web". So with this bug, the user gets an error ("please select search engine") the first time he does a search from the Sidebar panel. Category should also be set correctly since the current "All Categories" default confuses users.
low risk, high impact, removes an error message nominating for beta1

We need this landed if at all, so I'm adding the annotation that it will become PDT- on 3/3. Please update the status whiteboard with a landing date plan. Thanks, Jim

fix checked in. the code now looks for Netscape Search if none are selected.

this is not working at all with the 2000030709 builds on WinNT. On a new install, nothing is preselected. Doing a search in the sidebar doesn't prompt me to select anything and the search just spins on endlessly with no results. (it doesn't just do a netscape search like it should). REOPENING.

Ben, why is this broken again? Another case of commercial tree packaging nonsense?

We believe this was the root cause of most of the search horkage today right? I think we've got this under control at the moment but I'm reopening anyway because it should've have been reopened this morning when the 2000030909 builds failed. Ben, if you've re-fixed this mark it so and I'll verify when the next opt bits come out.
