Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to reference.com - make sure that it is not already added as one of your search engines. 2.You will note that it can be added; do so. 3.Enter any search query with this engine. The example I have presented is "SEARCH." Actual Results: URLs in the form of: http://www.reference.com/browse/SEARCH?r=77 which redirects to: http://www.reference.com/search?q=?r=77 Expected Results: Searches should generate URLs of the type: http://www.reference.com/search?q=SEARCH Also, please close Bug 158732 - a feature request to add dictionary.com as a search engine; it is now a default setting.

That site's OpenSearch description has: <Url type="text/html" method="get" template="http://www.reference.com/browse/{searchTerms}?r=77"/> Which means that we load: http://www.reference.com/browse/SEARCH?r=77 when you try to search for "SEARCH". The doesn't return useful results, so this is a problem with the site's OpenSearch description. Looks like it should be using something like: <Url type="text/html" method="get" template="http://www.reference.com/search?q={searchTerms}"/> The OpenSearch plugin doesn't work in IE7 either.
