747122 - Update hidden fields on search form

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Websites :: Firefox Start, defect)

Description

[Christie Koehler [:ckoehler]]

Per Kev Needham for our revenue sharing agreement, we need to send the client code of "firefox-a" and an rls code of "org.mozilla:$LOCALE$:official" with the search keywords (e.g. q={searchterms}). We should also send "ie=utf-8" to ensure the encoding is set properly. 

I've asked him to clarify what the field names are for rls and client codes (I can't tell from looking at the current form).

Since Jon copied these 1:1 from what the current page uses, I think we're good here. Just need to make sure these match.

For reference, these are the current input fields:

<input name="client" value="firefox-a" type="hidden">
<input name="rls" value="org.mozilla:de:official" type="hidden">
<input name="channel" value="s" type="hidden">
<input name="hl" value="de" type="hidden">
<input name="source" value="hp" type="hidden">
<input name="biw" type="hidden">
<input name="bih" type="hidden">

Client makes sense, so does rls and hl (language). Does that mean Jon should remove channel, source, biw, and bih? (The last two sound like something height/width related, we might just be able to remove that).

The fields are probably fine as-is, but adding Kev for verification.
