I'm suggesting that you allow users to create their own search engines, using a wizard or dialog box, as users may wish to search sites that aren't categorized as "Search Engines" (i.e.: Custom searches, using operators like: SEARCH STRING site:example.com ) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Drop down the search box... 2. Click on "Manage Search Engines". Actual Results: Users are redirected to the Mozilla Addons website. Expected Results: Allow users to choose an addon, or create their own customized search using a dialog box or wizard.
