Hello! I have some search plugins created myself as xml files, for cases where "add to search bar" function cannot be used (no search field for example). One day, one of those plugins had just disappeared from search engines list. I've double checked syntax, tried to rename the file, restored defaults with "manage search engines" - nothing helps: FF just ignores this particular file on reboot. What could be a problem? Thanks! (printer section removed from config info, because of 30000 letters limit)

Try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Hi cor-el, thanks for reply! Just tried. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem... Put original search.xxx files back to profile.

OK, it seems just fixed it! For this specific searchplugin, I had to move all the params into separate statements, I mean: 

<os:Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="script.php?param1=value1&param2=whatever{searchTerms}">
into

<os:Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="script.php"> 

 <os:Param name="param1" value="value1"/>
 <os:Param name="param2" value="whatever{searchTerms}"/>

</os:Url>

Then I removed search.json only and it works now. The weird thing is, all my other custom searchplugins remain untouched (in "old syntax") and still work. Looks like they change something in plugins-checking engine we will never know :-)
