Default list of search engines in Deskbar

[Loïc Minier]

        Hi,

 In <https://launchpad.net/bugs/131182>, Ian notes that the list of
 search engines is rather arbitrary.  The list of search engines in
 Deskbar actually comes from the Firefox bookmarks though.

 I guess the ideal long term solution for Ubuntu would be to unify
 default bookmarks, search engines etc. in a single package which would
 be used for Firefox, Epiphany, etc.
   As a short term solution, perhaps we can agree on which search
 engines to include by default, list them on some wiki page and patch
 Firefox to honor this list so that newer installation get these search
 engines in Deskbar?

 There's also the question of the default search engine to use when
 simply hitting enter in Deskbar: this should probably be the default
 Firefox search engine instead of the first search engine.

 The current list can be found with the attached script:
    Wikipedia topic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search>
    Ubuntu Package Search
        <http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl>
    Creative Commons <http://search.creativecommons.org/>
    Google <http://www.google.com/search>
    Yahoo <http://search.yahoo.com/search>
    Answers.com <http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery>
    eBay <http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll>
    Amazon.com <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/>

 Any suggestion for additions/removals?  Should Google be the preferred
 default?

   Cheers,
