Already with 2.15 I had the problem that I had no search engines, due to
the searchplugins directory being empty. I took them then from a FireFox
install.
I did an auto-update to 2.15.1, but it didn't work.
So I downloaded 2.15.1 tar and installed by hand.
But again the searchplugins directory is empty.
See below.
Repaired see above, but it is annoying that the update didn't work and
the search engines aren't included.
Anyone having seen this?
What do you show for:
$ ls -al /home/<user>/seamonkey/seamonkey/searchplugins
Why don't you *answer* the question?
Note: you stated that you extracted and are running SeaMonkey from
/home/<user>/seamonkey/seamonkey, if you'd put it someplace else then
adjust accordingly.

If you show those (you should) then create a test profile and see if the
search options show up in the test profile. If so, then you have a
profile issue, not a SeaMonkey version/install issue.
And... ?
Remember, your original issue is/was:
<quote>
When I go into edit|preferences|internet search I have no pull down list
of search engines and when I select manage search engines, there is no
list to select from.

I thought my other comments were clear, but here goes.
I use puppylinux which is always working in root.
The 'home' is called root here.

As you can see there is no searchplugins directory.
Now for the program directory structure which is elsewhere

Note that the searchplugins directory is empty after I extracted the
seamonkey files from the tar. The xml files you see here are put by hand
from another working firefox install.
Once I copied those xml files by hand, I had the pull down list in the
preferences.
So I know now how o correct the situation, but it seems not to be normal
that those xml files aren't in the seamonkey tar file.
As said in another part of the thread.
I have the same issue with the firefox 18.01 tar.
When extraced the searchplugins directory is empty.
And I also don't have the pull down list until I copy by hand the xml files.
Hope I answered as you wished.
