Yes it did.
That's the whole point of product management:
You just create your phrases, settings, templates without having to worry about how they are going to be installed on the customers system, as product management will handle that for you
You just need install/uninstall Code if you are creating custom tables, fields, etc.

I just don't understand how the heck it knows that the admincp new setting is called ' Use Quick Web Search? ' and where it finds the description?

[Andreas]

Well, as said: it's in the XML

<phrasetype name="vBulletin Settings" fieldname="vbsettings">
			<phrase name="setting_use_quick_web_search_desc"><![CDATA[Display the quick web search block on the admincp home?]]></phrase>
			<phrase name="setting_use_quick_web_search_title"><![CDATA[Quick Web Search]]></phrase>
		</phrasetype>

Does that answer your question?

[Floris]

I just tested it, and indeed it works.. This is like magic?

Ah, the export of the product added this:
<phrasetype name="vBulletin Settings" fieldname="vbsettings">
<phrase name="setting_use_quick_web_search_desc"><![CDATA[Display the quick web search block on the admincp home?]]></phrase>
<phrase name="setting_use_quick_web_search_title"><![CDATA[Quick Web Search]]></phrase>
</phrasetype>

I've been overlooking that. *ok* That explains a lot rofl..


[edit]
The confusion came from me staring the .xml I had on my hard drive .. vs .. the xml exported and upped to here. Using UltraEdit, I am not used that programs update files for me. Ever since frontpage .. hehe.


*wfew* I thought I was going crazy. [no no, don't comment on that]

Nice update!
Next feature request would be the ability to add more custom search engines
Or even search engines from sites like vbulletin.org/com
