I didn't say add a Bing add-on; I stated "You could modify one of the seamonkey/searchplugins .src files to use bing". Look in the folder that I mentioned & you'll see the .src files for the search engine plugins. Here's one: > # Mozilla/Google plug-in by [email protected] > > <search > name="Google" > description="Google Search" > method="GET" > action="http://www.google.com/search"; > update="http://www.google.com/mozilla/google.src"; > updateCheckDays=1 > queryEncoding="utf-8" > queryCharset="utf-8" >> > > <input name="q" user> > <inputnext name="start" factor="10"> > <inputprev name="start" factor="10"> > <input name="ie" value="utf-8"> > <input name="oe" value="utf-8"> > > <interpret > browserResultType="result" > charset = "UTF-8" > resultListStart="<!--a-->" > resultListEnd="<!--z-->" > resultItemStart="<!--m-->" > resultItemEnd="<!--n-->" >> > </search> Copy and modify that to adjust for Bing & you're good to go. Heck, you guys do more with chrome mods, user.js mods etc., for your fancy themes than the few minutes it would take to do a bing.src file & add a bing.gif. Then to change the default, all you really need to do is change your browser search preferences to use Bing instead of whatever. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
