Change Log for the Search Plugin Validator

2006-Feb-09

Added code to extract the charset from the plugin source and use that charset when the search simulator form is submitted. Mozilla appears to use that charset to support international character sets.

2005-Feb-21

Added code to default the scheme of action URIs to 'http'. Mozilla supports actions such as 'www.google.com/search', so we've updated the validator to emulate the browser's behavior.

Corrected a bug that showed misleading information in sidebar debugging results. We always reported that the resultListEnd string was found, even when the value was not found.
