Hello everyone,

I'm using
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 
SeaMonkey/2.17.1

I've been using Google as my default search engine forever,
and I now want to try other search engines.

I mostly search from the URL bar:
I type the search terms, e.g. "foo bar", on the URL bar,
then hit the UP arrow key, and Seamonkey offers to

  Search Google for "foo bar"

and I press ENTER, then SM takes me to the search results
on google.com

I tested duckduckgo, which it works as expected.

Then I tested Startpage, but I can't get it to work!! :-(

I've tried several of the search plugins, none of them work.

For example,

http://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html?name=startpage

I type my search terms in the URL bar, then UP,
SM shows

  Search Startpage for "foo bar"

then ENTER, and it just takes me to https://eu3.startpage.com/

However, mousing over and clicking the "Search" button, with
my search terms in the URL bar DOES work. (Takes me to a
startpage site with results for my search, though they do
not appear in the search box, so I can't enhance my search,
as I can for Google.)

I have AdblockPlus and NoScript add-ons.
(Thar doesn't seem to bother Google or Duckduckgo search plug-ins)

Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?

I wish Mozilla supported Startpage out-of-the box ;-(


Here's the code for the OpenSearch plug-in:
