A familiar issue: Currently the search.rdf file resides in \defaults\Profile\. Please move it to \chrome\...\locale We want to be able to provide different sets of search engines for different geographies: perhaps a UK-centric search engine for Britain, and Japanese, French and German search engines for those locales, to name but a few. As search.rdf controls each set of engines, the best way to manage this is to have the search.rdf file in locale directories. This raises the same issues as bug 35121
Nominating for nsbeta2, assigning to rjc in matt's absence.

Tao is working on this code change (which I'll review). Just to be clear, "search.rdf" will be moved from /profile/defaults/ into /chrome/.../locale but will be installed in the user's profile directory upon profile creation/migration. Each profile needs its own unique copy of the file.

Putting on [NEED INFO] radar. PDT to review open feature issues tomorrow night.

This file, "bin/defaults/profile/search.rdf" contains localizable resources and will be copied into user profile during profile creation. To create locale sensitve profile, we need to be able to copy localized version of this file from locale-specific directory. Therefore, please make this bug [nsbeta2+] so we can fix it in PR2 timeframe. FYI, I have come up a strategy to take care all files/directories under "bin/defaults/". Briefly speaking, we will leave them under "bin/defaults/*" but add one locale-specific subdirectory to them. For example, we will search "bin/defaults/profile/ja-JP/" first and fallbacks to "bin/defaults/profile/" if the former does not exist. I'll submit the patch to module own for review before landing the changes. Also, change the summary line to reflect the proposed plan. Thanks
