375567 - AMOs own (offered) search plugin broken

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

At the moment, https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/ offers a "Mozilla Add-ons" search plugin via <link>-attribute, but this plugin does not find anything.

Comment 1

[Justin Scott [:fligtar]]

This occurs because our redirection apparently does not take into account GET parameters.

The search plugin uses https://addons.mozilla.org/search?q=adblock because it's not locale specific, but that just redirects to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search without the search terms.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=adblock works fine.

So... we need to look into passing along the GET parameters if possible.

I am now preserving the GET parameters (i.e. the part of them that is unrelated to the redirect) in bootstrap. SVN r3656.

The link example provided by fligtar (search for adblock) does work now on my dev copy.

Tested and is fixed.
