1166022 - Locale-specific search defaults incorrect

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1164145

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect)

Description

I see Mike is in Japan. The jp/list.txt file has amazon-jp as its first item. Does that mean it is the default? There is also a jp/default.txt which has "Google" in it.

Oh. I see default.txt has "Google" while jp/list.txt has "google". Is it possible that we don't find this because of the uppercase G and then we default to the first item in list.txt?

default.txt
Stores information about the default search engine. The value inside that file is the shortName attribute of the searchplugin (e.g. Google for google.xml).

list.txt
Lists file names of all searchplugins (google, amazon-jp, etc.), order is not relevant.

This replicates exactly what happens on Fennec.

Locale-specific search defaults just landed yesterday in
https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-ios/pull/460. Looks like that
change didn't make it into build 15.

All settings are cleared after uninstalling/reinstalling, so switching
back to Yahoo as default is the expected behavior when the language is
set to English. For other languages, the order will be whatever order
is used in list.txt -- until the next build is released.
