Search engines in PM27
I updated PM to 27.0.3 in 64bit Mageia Linux, and the upgrade removed all of my custom search engines and replaced them with the default search engines.

Weird, there's no reason why custom search engines would be removed.

... because they were custom Google engines?GreenGeek wrote:I can think of one reason.
Being the fanatic that I am, I flushed all my old search engines and loaded every stinkin' search engine from the search engine page. I'm in the process of removing the ones I'll never use and I reluctantly re-added Google for those searches that StartPage doesn't quite do it for me. You see, I purposely bias the Google search engine towards programming and techie stuff.

Custom search engines wouldn't be removed from your user profile (where they usually live), not even Google. They would only get removed if they'd been added to the default engines that are pre-bundled in the installation directory.

Re: Search engines in PM27
And the bystander asks: what version were you updating from?
No. Because: new, clean profile! (like upgrading from 26.x, or one was portable and one wasn't).. because they were custom Google engines?
