Google 
http://www.google.com/search?q=portuguese&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:pt-PT:official&client=firefox-a
search sugggest is enabled and returning a small amount of pt-pt content

Yahoo
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=portuguese+translation+dictionary&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz2
search suggest is enabled, but seems to be returning mostly english content.
** is yahoo server the best choice?  
http://br.search.yahoo.com/ is available and might be closer in lanugage usability, but not locality...

CC 
http://search.creativecommons.org/?q=Portuguesa+F%C3%BAtbol+Club&sourceid=Mozilla-search
seems to redirect most of the page to yahoo content.  the links in the yahoo content point to spanmish, pt-pt, and other content.

Mic, once the dependent bugs are closed out, we may sign off on the total list, or just close this one out.
For this locale, it's a single point of reference for the other search engine related bugs.

Comment 5

[João Neves]

I've filed 5 bugs on changes to the search plugins as a result of some discussions by the localization team. The final result, if all of the changes are approved, should be:

google
yahoo brasil
sapo
priberam
portuguese wikipedia

Comment 6

[João Neves]

The final list became:

google
yahoo brasil
sapo
priberam
portuguese wikipedia
amazon.co.uk

Comment 7

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

I verified that the priberam search works, even though my code reports a broken icon. Which is a bug in my code, need to get some tree rules discussions off my back to fix this publically.

Anyway, this bug can be closed.
