Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday and today I needed to do a Ubuntu package search so I went to the search box in Firefox and went to click on "ubuntu package search", but it wasn't there.

It seems to be provided by:
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-US/debsearch.gif
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-US/debsearch.src

Which are in Firefox-3.5 in Karmic, but are missing from Firefox in Lucid.

If this has been done on purpose, can we have a separate package which installs debsearch?

In the meantime one can add launchpad and ubuntu search engines.

We're going to make a separate package out of this since the default search engine list is already long.
