We want to ship Firefox Mobile with a good list of search engines for Mixtepec Mixtec. 

We're going to work towards this in three phases. First, the localization team and the l10n drivers will look at the market for the language and come up with a good set of search providers. Baldemar, we'll need your input on this, the guidelines for making recommendations are on <https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Mobile/Productization>. 

For en-US, we currently use this set, to which we can fall back in the case of lacking localized alternatives:

> Google, Yahoo, Bing, Amazon, Twitter, Wikipedia

We may also want to go with just a subset of the en-US engines, if that's more appropriate for the local market.

Adding brand new search engines, that don't yet ship in any other language, needs approval from Business Development and requires more time to get authorization and assets from the provider. To avoid blocking the initial set up, this type of requests should be split into follow up bugs. Baldemar, we'll likely need your help to at least get the owner's contact information.

For search engines that we already ship with on desktop and that you would like to include in mobile as well, the permission is not needed.  Consider using a mobile version of the engine if one is available. For Android we'll want a specific 96x96px image, with colored background and rounder corners (6px radius).

Once we have a specification on what the search engines for Mixtepec Mixtec should look like, Delphine and the localization team will work on the implementation. Delphine will create and attach patches for the desired changes and get them reviewed. After a successful review, Delphine will land them. Baldemar, if you're interested, you could create the patches, too. You'd ask Delphine for review on those before landing. 

Please don't commit any modifications in browser/searchplugins to the hg repository without a patch reviewed by Delphine, flod, Axel or someone else appointed by the l10n drivers. The data here is sensitive to users and our search partners, thus the extra care here.

The Mixtepec Mixtec team and Delphine will be driving this bug to completion.
Woops, we need to udpate this since we've removed Yahoo from the list.

@Baldemar: please let me know which search engines you'd like to add. Just as an example in case you're interested, "meh" chose:           

"google", "bing", "amazondotcom", "twitter", "wikipedia-es"
Google, Yahoo, Bing, Amazon, Twitter, Wikipedia
@Baldermar: unless you ask me otherwise, I'll take the liberty to add "wikipedia-es" since that will redirect to the Spanish version of Wikipedia, instead of the English one - which seems more appropriate in this case.

Also, please note as I mentioned we don't put up Yahoo anymore. 

So to sum up, I'll add "google", "bing", "amazondotcom", "twitter", "wikipedia-es" - and if there's anything wrong let me know.
