Fixed! 116856 3 ian 2015-01-06 22:54:29 +0000 I don't think it would be appropriate for the spec to prefer Google over other search engines, and there's a long tail of search engines who would want to get into this game if I started playing it. 116874 4 d 2015-01-07 05:02:37 +0000 That's a good point and I don't really see a way around it. I guess it will just remain my little search plugin I distribute to friends and use on my browsers.
