=== How to Use the Patch ='''Release v.03''' ==
1The target for this release was to build upon Release v. Copy and paste all of 02 by dynamically "Removing" the dynamically "Added" search engine when the text user navigates away from the [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Localized_Search_in_Firefox_Search_Box#Patch_File patch file] into a text file and name web site offering the file localsearchpatch_v02search plugin.txt.

2. Start-up Firefox 3 (i.e. Minefield) and go to a web site that offers a search engine plugin: * ==== [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Main_Page Mozilla Developer Center]* [httpLocalized Search in Firefox Search Box://wwwRelease v.theglobeandmail03.com/ The Globe and Mail2]* [http://www.yellowpages.ca/ Yellow Pages]  3. Notice that the search plugin has been dynamically loaded and added to the searchbar's list of "hidden" engines. The newly added search engine appears as the current engine and it can be used to search the web site.  4. Notice also that the "Add <Search Engine>" menu item is not displayed and the searchbar's drop-down list button did not turn blue because the search plugin was dynamically loaded.  5. Open the "Manage Search Engines" dialog box and "Remove" the dynamically loaded search engine. It will now appear on the the searchbar's list as an "Add <Search Engine>" menu item. It can then be added back as normal to the searchbar's list.  6. Clicking Firefox's reload button will reload the web page and trigger the code for the search plugin to be dynamically added to the list if it is not already on the searchbar's list of "hidden" engines.====
