API reference:

FWIW, when I take out the addition parameters (all/10/Darwin/3.5.3), the search works:

https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/api/1.2/search/A9%2520SiteInfo/

A9 Siteinfo:
https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2075

"Works with  	 Firefox: 1.5 – 1.5.0.* "

So yeah, searching for matches to A9 SiteInfo for Fx 3.5.3 *should* fail.
