1126698 - Support application/x-moz-tabletsearch in the search activity

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Search Activity, defect)

Description

[:Margaret Leibovic]

We need to implement something like _defaultMobileResponseType:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/search/nsSearchService.js#2815

In the search activity here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/search/java/org/mozilla/search/providers/SearchEngine.java#144

Looking at the search activity code, we don't support application/x-moz-phonesearch either. Do we need to do that as well?

I think we want to use: rel="phone|mobile|tablet|something" and stop using "application/x-moz-t-*"

Main issue/question is whether we support multiple values for rel= (explicitly covered in the OS spec [1])

Option A: we could have "phone", "tablet", "phone search-activity", "tablet search-activity"

Option B: "phone", "tablet", "phone-activity", "tablet-activity"

I'd recommend Option B, for sanity, but either is technically acceptable within the spec.

This is an ex-Search Activity now (bug 1221344).
