It's worth noting that Chrome extensions do not have access to Chrome's search 
engines.

But, could add an option to have Fauxbar automatically attempt to add site 
search engines as you visit them. Would result in a lot of bloating, though I 
suppose manually-added engines could be flagged as so (thinking of when you 
click on the Search Box's icon to select an engine you've added... a long long 
list would be kind of bad).

Yeah, i did notice that when searching the extension documentation a few mouths 
ago.
I got even more disappointed of the chrome extension api since i wanted to 
implement access to it in fauxbar.

Could the search engine collection be done reliably ?
Now that i think about it, i never did check how chrome collects the search 
engines.

Allowing the user to modify search engines collected is a thought.
Ie. sort, edit, rename, remove, limit of item's shown, basically full control.
