What's new in SearchBar

Version 1.3 adds the following:

Added german localization (David Kiltz)

Added the ability to sort the engines by name, and by drag and drop
Added frtracker.com (http://www.frtracker.com)
Added dogpile.com (http://www.macplus.net)

Added osxfacile.com (http://www.osxfacile.com)
Added frtracker.com (http://www.frtracker.com)
Added chezmarc.com (http://www.chezmarc.com)
You can now have neither the icon in the menu bar nor the icon in the dock (beware though, you really should set a HotKey first, or it's going to be hard to get SearchBar back to the foreground if you close the window)
Fixed bug that caused the incorrect window to reappear when relaunching SearchBar (vertical/horizontal big/small)
Fixed bug that caused the position of the horizontal SearchBar window to be used in place of the vertical's Note: there is more to come to customize the engines menu, just hold on! I really wanted to get a new version quickly with this updated preferences panel, that's why there is still some work on my to do list. I say 'some' but there is a lot of work left actually (see the To Do section for more info on what's next).
