Oh, c'mon
As you say in the mail, the great percent user of Ubuntu use Google,
then why we add Baidu?
Yeah, some guys prefer Baidu as their search engine, but is there any
releationship between us?
Those guys maybe never know what's linux or Ubuntu at all, include your
parents.
Add Baidu as a search plugin wouldn't be a technical problem, but the
philosophy of Baidu goes against Ubuntu's or Linux's.
If we didn’t' do some thing to prevent, then Chinese people will only
have one choise, that's not what all we want to see.

Subject: Re: [Bug 578281] [NEW] Add search plugin for Baidu
Dear Fellow Chinese Ubuntu Users,
I know all of you hate Baidu. Please calm down, since I don't think it's
worthy for you to delete Ubuntu regarding to Baidu.
Honestly and objectively speaking, the users of Baidu are much more than
that of Google in China. However, almost all of Linux users are using
Google. Many CS-related people are using Google as well, but there is a
large number of those who mainly use Baidu.
I am a 100% Linux user (there's no Windows in my hard drive). I use
Google at most time. In some special cases I use Baidu, e.g., I want to
get the results in Chinese while I search in English.
My parents use Baidu. Many of my non-CS friends use Baidu. I am not
willing to persuade them to use Google instead, like I seldom persuade
someone to use Linux, because they are used to what they are using.
I think adding Baidu into the list is a good idea. Not making Baidu the
default is also a good idea, because if the users encounter Linux
problems, Google will help them much well than Baidu.
Thanks,
Chunhao

Baidu is the leading search engine in China
(http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE63R5YM20100429) and growing
given Google's departure from China. It will return results that are
more targeted and relevant to users based in China.
I'm attaching a search plugin xml file for Baidu, generated using some
information from OEM Service's communications with Baidu and looking
at the suggestion info used in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-
US/firefox/addon/9184/
The suggestion bit works, but not quick enough to suggest as you type...
If you type something in (= 4 chars) and later backspace, you'll see
the cached suggestion results that FF received. Not sure if I did
something wrong or if it's just slow.
Baidu told OEM Services that their name is natively spelled 百度一下 so I
used that. Baidu's site is not translated into English, so I don't
see a compelling reason for the name to be the Englishy Baidu
instead of what a native speaker would presumably prefer.
This also uses Ubuntu's Baidu ID for searches (the cl=3tn=ubuntuu_cb
bit).
Just drop the attached plugin into the searchplugins folder in ubufox.
