Public bug reported:
The code that parses search suggestions (http://bazaar.launchpad.net
/~phablet-team/webbrowser-
app/trunk/view/head:/src/app/webbrowser/SearchSuggestions.qml#L55)
assumes a given format for the data returned by the search engine,
similar to this:
["ubuntu",["ubuntu","ubuntu download","ubuntu 15.04","ubuntu
14.04","ubuntu linux","ubuntu server","ubuntu live cd","ubuntu linux
download","ubuntu studio","ubuntu phone"],[],[]]
(this is the format for the data we get from all major search engines
such as google, yahoo, bing, qwant, wikipedia, …)
However it appears that other search engines return their suggestions in
a different format. Baidu is one of them. A query to
http://suggestion.baidu.com/su?wd=ubuntu returns:
window.baidu.sug({q:"ubuntu",p:false,s:["ubuntu
14.04","ubuntu中文输入法","ubuntu 搜狗输入法","ubuntu qq","ubuntu
安装","ubuntu15.04","ubuntu kylin","ubuntu root 默认密码","ubuntu
ssh","ubuntu源"]});
The parser needs to be made more flexible to handle both syntaxes (and
maybe other syntaxes in the future).
