45221 - Search Panel Sucks (code needs review)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect, P3)

Currently the search panel sorta almost works, providing you do things its way 
and you don't offend the RDF gods. However it's terribly flaky, especially the 
multiple results pane, which doesn't really work anymore (a whole horde of 
issues exist) and has a tendency to crash the browser. Time is running out for 
nsbeta2 so we may have to say that this feature sucks for then, but it would be 
nice to resurrect it during the performance/polish cycle of nsbeta3.

I checked in a fix for these issues. Search seems to be working again. Claudius, 
let me know if there are any major bugs remaining...

marking VERIFIED for now. I'll soon give this a good shaking and file separate bugs iff necessary
