(Whiteboard: [swag: 1d]) 

Add context menu to search button that replicates the drop-down search-engine menu.  The primary advantage is a larger target than the itty bitty triangle on that button.

This is a one-line fix, marked with XXX in browser/components/search/content/search.xml, once bug 336662 is fixed.
Alternatively, this can be done by adding a <menupopup> definition to the <popupset> in browser.xul, although that means duplication of code.

Any thoughts on whether we want a context menu at all, then, as well as whether it's important enough to put in the uglier way?  (Uglier code, that is; the menu's the same.)

My feeling is that adding a context menu isn't necessary, and instead we should be making the drop-down button easier to hit. I'd say WONTFIX.
I agree with beltzner - I don't think adding a context menu is a good idea.
