I'm completely lost.  I just know it was available on 2.0.14 and I 
used it all the time.  I upgraded to 2.1 and it is not available.  I 
looked for search engines  under the addons.mozilla.org and there are 
none.  How can I give a link to something that is not there?

Hmmm...
Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ask;
Amazon, eBay, Android Market, Project Gutenberg, iTunes/Apple Appstore;
Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Youtube, Technorati...

...I think those are a good start. Many people would find some or most
of them useful and convenient.

On a different, but related, topic...

Somebody suggested Yippy. I don't think it would be right for Seamonkey
to highlight that engine as a featured one; Listing it on top, as a
featured search site would be like giving it the Seamonkey Council
Seal of Approval.

And the thing is, Yippy's terms of service are troubling -- while I have
no problem, in principle, with a child-friendly search engine (however,
it should be *very* upfront as being one), Yippy goes beyond that and
adds a definite political slant:

http://search.yippy.com/censorship

I'm not saying that yippy should be banned; I'm fine with it being
listed as an available search engine on AMO. However, I don't think that
either Mozilla or Seamonkey should lend their names and reputations to a
site that favors censorship.

If I understood your request here are suggestions:

The first two are privacy-respecting search engines.
(Startpage uses Google searches but strips all user
identifying data.)

http://startpage.com

or https://startpage.com

Yippy is child-friendly and has lots of other resources.

In addition the search plugin has to be hosted on addons.mozilla.org as
well.
