If the only issue is the size of the icon, someone here should be able to tell 
you how to hack the icon to fix it. Sorry, beyond my ability.


I just got some advice from someone about solving the problem.  If you remove 
or rename the file search.json.mozlz4 in the profile (with SeaMonkey off) and 
tben add a searchplugins directory to the profile with whatever search plugins 
you want to add in there, they will be used.  It works.

I found a search plugin in addons.thunderbird.net for MetaGer, but when I 
installed it in SeaMonkey, it created a huge icon.  The icon was supposed to 
be 16x16, but it came out 32x32 when displayed.  Is there any way to edit that?


Try this:

Edit | Preferences | Browser | Internet Search
Click [Manage Search Engines...]

If you don't see what you want, click "Get more search engines" at the lower 
left of the dialog box. In the browser window that opens, MetaGer is at 
<https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/seamonkey/search/?sort=name&atype=4%3Fatype%3D4&page=115>

Have you tried the Search Engine Wizard extension? It will let you make
your own search plugins. The version for Seamonkey can be found here:
http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#searchenginewizard


Thanks, I tried installing it but nothing changed. They do say on the page 
that it's better if you also install xsidebar. I tried your suggestion and 
find that xsidebar seriously messes up tabbed browsing - the tab bar will 
only show one tab, and pressing the home button does not have any effect - 
I've disabled it. But the search engine addition won't work.

Too bad. - I actually liked the new xsidebar.
