Search Tools is now available in the header menu. See http://screencast.com/t/ACXMI0Bden5G

with all respect, i guess this is the wrong place + very hidden (nobody looks into dropdowns named more...)

if i click on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/appearance/ (it is highlighted in the right panel)
Do you think makes sense to add the helpful list of search tools in the classic category listing, too?

The link "More..." -> "Search Tools" directs to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search-tools/, this is not what this bug was about; this is about a category link listing to page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/search-tools/.

In bug 699102 (which is a duplicate of this bug btw), it was said that bug 684297 would fix this. However, it hasn't been implemented yet, and I disagree that this should depend on bug 684297. The page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/search-tools/ already exists and is fully functional; in fact, you can reach that page from within "More..." -> "Search Tools", by then clicking any of the links in the "Search Extensions" block on the left.

The issue here is that there is no link to it in the categories section on the left of AMO extension lists pages, and this is the only category not to be listed with the others (which IMO is just wrong for the many obvious reasons).

Not only am I also of the opinion that this category should be listed alongside others, I also believe the existence of this category shouldn't depend on the look or functionality or whatever of the "More..." -> "Search Tools" page, because it will in fact have nothing to do with it.

This bug is about adding a link to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/search-tools/ in the Category list on the left side of the pages.  Using the localized string "Search Tools" is fine.

I think the whiteboard should read "[see comment 5]", assuming you meant to point to your own comment. (there is no comment 4 for some reason, maybe that's the "duplicate of..." message?)

Also, to amend a small but important detail, it's not only on the left "categories" column of the page, but also in the "Extensions" mouse-over dropdown at the top, and of course any other place that should have it listed alongside the others. I'm not sure if adding it to one place would add it to the others as well, so I thought I should mention it just to make sure.

According to https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/blob/master/apps/amo/helpers.py#L169
and after testing, it appears that https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/admin/models/addons/category/13/ should have a `weight` value of "0" instead of "-1" as it is now.

I cannot access that admin page. Could an admin switch the value?

mysql> update categories set weight=0 where id in (13,47);
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 2  Changed: 2  Warnings: 0


^ that is the category for both firefox and seamonkey.  Might take a while to clear the cache since I hit the db directly.

Comment 9

[Luís Miguel [:quicksaver] (not reading bugmail)]

I can confirm that Search Tools is now listed along with the other categories in firefox and seamonkey pages.

Verified as fixed in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/search-tools/ and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/extensions/search-tools/ on FF25 (Win 7).
Closing bug.
