[Mozilla Enterprise] policies.json & Search

[Mike Kaply]

1. You have an extra comma after the URLTemplate line. I recommend using
something like JSONLint to find this.
2. The replacement string is {searchTerms} not %s.

After these two changes, it works for me.

One other note - startpage is www.startpage.com, not startpage.com (don't
matter, but avoids a redirect)
