Rick: AFAIK, the only reason for the CSE use was/is to quickly enable
revenue share on search results, before Canonical (Ubuntu) had a proper
account/relationship setup with Google (Yahoo).
I'm not party to the agreement that was signed, so I can only make an
educated guess at the

I should not help ubuntu at all, as I swore - after realizing that
nobody was going to provide a clear reply to the political side of this
bug.
But for insert your favourite god here sake, I think you should not

Can you please branch that code, fix the HTML files and let us know

@Paul - AIUI, the Firefox chrome interface search/address bars are
not related to the custom search page. The search/address bars use stock
Google search results, whereas the default home page is a custom search

While this is a valid bug, we're going to stick with Google Custom Search in

I feel your pain on having less feature, but it's just the way things work.
Anyone is more than welcome to change their default home page if they care (I
change it, for example).

As usual no reply, in particular to altered from what. I am not accusing
anyone of altering results, what I say is that we are using a

This all started more than one year ago; for one year I tried to get to

I think even if I am striking I can point you to the political version
of this bug, which is not about having less features, but about keeping
