Description Asher Feldman 2012-09-21 18:48:15 UTC 
Mobile's search preview should build relative urls from the much sparser json returned by the opensearch api, instead of using the xml response which contains a lot of extra data not useful for a type-ahead preview.  The size difference is huge.

Comment 1 Jon 2012-09-21 20:32:15 UTC 
I think the original reason was JSON view doesn't provide the link... (which I guess can be derived by prefixing with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ or similar) and also better support for XML in older browsers will look into this.

Corrected product
