Prior to my code modifications, the [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/base/content/browser.js#2770 addEngine() function] received a reference to an anonymous JavaScript [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/base/content/browser.js#2758 engine object] which was passed as a parameter to the function by the [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/base/content/browser.js#2669 onLinkAdded() function] that created it. Then, addEngine() used an nsIBrowserSearchService object to determine if the search engine was already on the list of engines. The addEngine() function used the ''title'' property of the ''engine'' object to "get" an nsISearchEngine object with a corresponding ''name'' property. If the search engine was on the list, then it was considered to be a "hidden" engine and it was ''pushed'' onto the ''browser.hiddenEngines'' array. This array is used by the [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml search.xml] file to determine how to populate and display the search engines on the searchbar menu. If the search engine was not on the list, it was ''pushed'' onto the "non-hidden", ''browser.engines'' array. The search engine would then be displayed as an "Add <Search Engine>" item on the searchbar menu and the searchbar button's background color would be changed to blue after a call to the [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/base/content/browser.js#2809 updateSearchButton() function].
 
My code modifications alter the original addEngine() function by using the nsIBrowserSearchService object to check if the new search plugin is NOT on the list. If it is not on the list, I "Add" the search plugin by calling the [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/nsSearchService.js#2726 addEngine() function] in the [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/nsSearchService.js nsSearchService.js] file. This function completes the important step of creating a '''new''' nsISearchEngine object. It is this type of object that is required by important methods in search.xml, such as [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#208 observe()],[http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#262 offerNewEngine()] and [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#290 hideNewEngine()]. I then push the anonymous JavaScript ''engine'' object onto the the list of "hidden" search engines, the ''browser.hiddenEngines'' array. It is not necessary for me to add any of the auto-detected search plugins to the ''browser.engines'' array at this point. My objective is to dynamically "Add" the auto-detected search engines, therefore they are all considered to be "hidden" engines for now and they are not displayed on the searchbar as "Add <Search Engine>" menu items.
