The Spanish version of Firefox has "Diccionario RAE" search engine in the code. The problem is that the code is obsolete because www.rae.es has improved and updated his site to "23ª Edición", also it's difficult to identify with that icon.

I've tried deleting the installed one with Firefox (ok, deleted) and adding a drae.xml to searchplugins folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\browser\searchplugins) but it's not shown in search bar as other xml files I added. Later, I modified search.json and that worked but until the next update; so, everytime Firefox is updated I need to edit the file.

I would like to have the fixed, by me, "Diccionario RAE" but don't know why it doesn't work like other search engines I added (they are NOT in Firefox code).

P.S. I can post my drae.xml if needed.
