= '''Release v.03.2''' =
Similarly to [[Localized Search in Firefox Search Box: Release v.03.1#Release v.03.1 | release version .03.1]], this release (v.03.2) dynamically removes the auto-detected search engine when the user navigates to a different web site unless the user manually adds the "Add <Search Engine>" menu item from the searchbar's list of available engines. This version also dynamically removes the dynamically "Added" search engine from the list of installed engines on the searchbar list and places it on the list of available engines as an "Add <Search Engine>" menu item when the user clicks the searchbar's button to display the engine list. At that point, the user can choose to manually "Add" the auto-detected search plugin and it will remain on the list of installed engines when the user navigates to another web site.

== '''Code Modifications''' ==
* Refer to the code modifications for [[Localized Search in Firefox Search Box: Release v.03.1#Code Modifications | release version .03.1]].
1. [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml search.xml]
* [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/content/search.xml#332 rebuildPopupDynamic() method]: When the user first clicks the searchbar's button to display the engine list, remove the dynamically added search engine if it is on the list. Use a try-catch block to first check that the global variable ''gAddedEngine'' has a non-null value. Then, use the searchbar's ('''this''') search service [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/nsSearchService.js#2697 getEngineByName() function] to "get" the engine if it is on the list. Employ the searchbar's search service [http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/search/nsSearchService.js#2741 removeEngine() function] to remove it from the list. Set the global variable ''gAddedEngine'' to '''null'''.
== '''How to Use the Patch''' ==
1. Copy and paste all of the text from the [[#Patch File - localsearchpatch_v032.txt | patch file]] into a text file and name the file localsearchpatch_v031.txt. Save the file to your root mozilla directory. Then, [[Localized Search in Firefox Search Box: Release v.01#Applying the Patch | apply the patch and recompile]] your mozilla source code as described in the release v.01 notes.
2. Start-up Firefox 3 (i.e. Minefield) and go to a [[Localized Search in Firefox Search Box#Web Site List | web site]] that offers a search engine plugin.
3. Notice that the search plugin has been dynamically loaded and added to the searchbar's list of installed engines. The newly added search engine appears as the current engine and it can be used to search the web site.
4. Click Firefox's searchbar button to display the list of search engines. Observe that the dynamically loaded search plugin is no longer on the list of installed engines and it is now listed as an "Add <Search Engine>" menu item. If you opt to "Add" the engine back to the list of installed engines, it will remain as an installed engine when you navigate to a different web site.
5. Open the Search Engine Manager's dialog and "Remove" the dynamically "Added" search engine. Notice that it is no longer on the list of installed engines and it is now listed as an "Add <Search Engine>" menu item. If you choose to "Add" the engine back to the list of installed engines, it will remain as an installed engine when you navigate to a different web site.
6. Navigate to a web site that offers a search engine plugin and then to a different site that does NOT offer a search plugin. Observe that the dynamically "Added" search engine is no longer on the list of installed engines.
