Bugs :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
I assume it's a bug, one I can live with though. Applies to both KM-74 & KM-75
If I delete a search engine (Finding Websites/Search Engines), it's gone there.
However, if I want to add a search engine (Finding Websites/Web Search or URL Bar) the name of the deleted search engine is still there even so it can't work anymore.
It's just irritating. Where are those entries stored, so I can delete them?
I've given up years ago using the regular way, didn't work too often. For manual config, look for a file search.xml in the profile folder and filter for "search" in about:config
The search has had a bug. It did not write the search.xml in UTF-8. So someone hot fixed it so that it now writes UTF-8 but all in one line. And it is now stored somewhere else.
The items You add are AFAIK in the search.xml that is in the used profile folder. But AFAIK it also uses the search.xml that is in ./browser/defaults. That is the one (master copy) that You cannot edit from the K-Meleon menus. You can edit it with an UTF-8 capable editor.
Of old this was better except for the UTF-8 bug. You had a full copy of the search.xml in Your used profile and You were able to edit that.

Thanks Günter!
For some reason I've missed the search.xml in the browser/default folder. Deleted the respective entries and they are gone for good now.
