nsIBrowserSearchService's defaultEngine is used to determine which engine to select in a clean profile, for the context menu search when the search bar is hidden, and for the "Tools->Web Search" action when the search bar is hidden.

Joey's patch changes all uses other than the "which engine to select on startup with a new profile" case.
