Search Engines with URL keywords are not imported

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Under Chrome Options > Basic > Search > Manage Search Engines
I have for example an entry for wikipedia with the keyword wp and the URL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/%s
2. Reindex the fauxbar database

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
1. in fauxbar, if I enter wp<space>keyword, I search for "wp keyword" in Google
2. in the omnibar, I enter wp<space>keyword and can search wikipedia
3. I'd like for fauxbar to behave the same way as the omnibar and import all my 
search engines
4. (I have setup a few search engines manually in fauxbar and they work fine)

Which version of Fauxbar and Chrome are you using, and which operating
system?
Fauxbar version 1.2.5  (17 Dec 2011)
Google Chrome 17.0.963.26 beta-m
Windows 7 64-bit

Chrome extensions can't access Chrome's search engines, so Fauxbar has to 
maintain its own separate list.

So would I. If Chrome ever lets extensions access its search engines, I'll look 
at implementing this, but this is not currently possible.

Thanks for the reply. Could you maybe create an easy way to export search 
engines out of chrome and import them into Fauxbar?
