[edit] Example
What we need here is one really good example.
Lets say a yahoo example with json for some facets of yahoo. (mail, photos, news)
Lets keep it simple. (I get lazy as it gets later and later)

[edit] Origins
Does anyone know where/how the search suggestion extension was designed?
I really like the idea, but using the MIME type as an indication of the URL element's purpose seems rather stange to me and not very much in the sprit of the original opensearch spec. What if other browsers/agents just treated it as an alternate query URL with an exotic MIME type?
Wouldn't a moz:suggestions element hve been a better solution?
Just curious, where did that idea come from? --Ps 04:54, 6 June 2007 (PDT)
[edit] Query URLs are not supported in Firefox 2, but I need this feature
Opensearch extension in Firefox 2 is working very well. However, for a special search assistant which I developed since 2004 and which can make use of the opensearch suggestion extension I need the fourth JSON parameter, the query URL.
What can I do, because I need this feature urgently ? Whom to contact ? --Wikinaut 10:41, 30 June 2007 (PDT)
Citing the article page:
- This optional element is an array of alternate URLs for each of the suggestions in the completion list. For example, if you want to offer a map link instead of just a search result page for a given suggestion, you can return an URL to a map in this array. If you don't specify a query URL, the default query is used based on the search described by the <Url> element in the search plugin's XML description. Query URLs are not supported in Firefox 2, and are ignored.

- This enhancement is now formally requested in Bugzilla 386591.
