New issue 15548 by vleeshue: Search Engines should be exportable/importable
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15548
Chrome Version : 3.0.190.4
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 4:
Firefox 3.x: OK
IE 7:
IE 8:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Google Chrome somewhere else
2. Try to import exported bookmarks to the new installation
3. Note that none of the search engine settings are imported (they weren't
exported in the first place).
What is the expected result?
One should be able to export/import both bookmarks and search engines.
What happens instead?
Search engines are not exported/imported.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
Firefox provides search engine export/import by treating search engines as
bookmarks with a keyword to active them
from the url bar. Google chrome supports the same feature via the "Wrench"
> Options > Default Search: Manage option.
I use this feature extensively for both search engines and quick access to
common sites. For example, I use keyword
'r' to go to url 'http://www.google.com/reader/view/'. Whenever I install
on a new PC, or suggest a few to a friends,
I need to manually recreate the search engines for Google Chrome. Besides
being tedious, this is also very error-
prone. Being able to export/import these would be VERY useful.
This is somewhat related to issue 5589:
