Bug#568004: Iceweasel - no search suggestions in the search-box

[Rogério Brito]

Package: iceweasel
Severity: normal

Hi, people.

I had this problems during the past days and today I got really annoyed
with it.

I unstalled (purged, actually) everything that had anything to do with
mozilla and tried to get firefox from the nightly builds from ubuntu,
but it lacked any of those automated searches.

Then, I tried to to understand the format of some of those and I
discovered that the ones attached (taken from mozilla.org, with some
minor modifications *do* work).

One thing to note here is that the only other one that I tried
(wikipedia) worked fine, without any problems, which narrowed it down to
google's.

Perhaps they have changed their interface or the .xml file shipped with
iceweasel is not complete with the suggestions foo thing, as given here:

,----
| <os:Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" method="GET" template="http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=firefox&amp;client=firefox&amp;hl=en&amp;q={searchTerms}"/>
`----

(I just hardcoded the locale above, but it should, perhaps, work fine
without it---I guess).


Regards,
