&#62; is add any search engine that comes up in meta tags automatically<p>Won't it possibly lead to adding phishing entries (silently waiting for cases users won't notice the right one and add the wrong one) in future?

Great writeup with screenshots highlighting the different issues IE, Safari Chrome, Opera, and Firefox have.<p>Near the end Gabe says "I compiled feedback on these issue in hope that this part of the browser user experience gets fixed in all these great pieces of software." Yeah really. Let's hope the browser vendors listen!
