What were you trying to do?
	I use the locally installed mozilla (out of infoagents).  It
	It has a feature that when you type text into the location bar,
	under the history is a "Search [Search Engine] for [your text]"
	option.  I am trying to use it with google.

What's wrong:
	Frequently when I try to do this for the first time in a session
	(not sure if it's first time in the execution of the program
	or first time in a login, and it doesn't always happen) the
	bar simply reads "Search  for [text]" (ie, no search engine)
	and does nothing until I open up preferences, change to the
	"Internet Search" panel, and click OK (no actual changes necessary).

What should have happened:
	I should not need to set it manually every time (especially
	since the idea is to save about 5 seconds of time).

	This might be related to the use of the same program on
	multiple architectures.


Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Sorry, none.

Thanks!
