<string>A9</string>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to edit Camino.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/SearchURLList.plist.
Actual Results:  
Nothing. Camino's still using Google and my new engines are not displayed.

I folowed the instructions for customizing search engines from Help > Customize
Search Engines

That information is no longer accurate for the nightlies/0.9a1; you need to
customize the SearchURLList.plist in your profile (~/Library/Application
Support/Camino) instead.

The website lists the proper method for customizing search in the current
released version, but I assume it will be updated for 0.9 when 0.9 is released.

Tempted to say INVALID, but over to Samuel for resolution.

I'm voting "invalid" also, but perhaps we should have a parenthetical note there
about the trunk builds?

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

Wevah, I've added this to your "todo" list on d.cb.o. Can you add a note and
resolve this bug when you've done so?

Comment 4

[Wevah (Nate Weaver)]

Done. Let me know if the note should be moved or clarified, though.
