Description Brion Vibber 2011-10-31 17:26:41 UTC
Tapping on an entry in the search suggestions drop-down seems to load up the desktop version of the site instead of the mobile one.

I assume it's taking the URLs returned from the OpenSearch API and is simply  assuming that there will be an automatic redirect -- this doesn't happen if you've set the "disable mobile version" cookie (which there doesn't appear to be a way to undo) or using the mobile URLs explicitly on a desktop or tablet browser.

I'm confused about this.  So there should be a way to re-enable the mobile version, but if you've disabled it why would you want to go to the mobile version from search suggestions?
Comment 2 Jon 2012-02-29 09:15:23 UTC
Should
?useformat=mobile
be appended on to the end of urls returned by the search as a short term fix?
Comment 3 Arthur Richards 2012-03-14 22:24:21 UTC
I believe this was fixed by r113435.
