Firefox:Search:Scratch Pad

Perhaps a clear button à la iTunes' X button.

Maybe we should dump searchbar plugins and use the entries in the Quick Search Folder for the search bar, as it will automatically give the user the ability to orgranize (add, delete and sort, right now there is no obvious way for the user to remove searchbar plugins) his/her search entries. It also allows the user to make use of the "Add a Keyword for this Search..." context menu. Lastly, I believe having to maintain two separate search mechanisms is just too much work.

you can delte the searchbar plugins by going to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins and deleting the ones you no longer want

Bugmenot: I believe the search keyword functionality doesn’t deal well with non-ASCII search strings, whose encoding depends on the acceptable encoding of the search page. This could by the way be fixed by looking at the accept-encoding attribute on the form, and if that is not present, the page encoding, and storing that together with the keyword.
