350419 - search suggestion fail over url

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Search, enhancement)

Description

[Biju]

search suggestion fail over url:-

Wikipedia search do not have search suggestions.
So why not provide google suggestion as a fail over URL
this may be a single url or a list of urls in about:config

also useful case is where user search 
"biju kris" in google, no suggestion came
but if search was in yahoo it would have shown "biju krishnan"

so it will be a good idea 
if we could configure a list of fail over urls

first firefox should check url provided in search add-on
if missed, then the first URL from about:config
still missed then the second URL from about:config and so on

Mixing suggest URLs and providers will just lead to confusion and unexpected results, and UI to "manage" suggestions URLs is not something that would benefit most users. I think this bug should be marked WONTFIX.

Alternatively search-engine add-on XML can have multiple url

totally WONTFIX.

(note, Wikipedia has suggestions now)
