[Google Search API] `ludocid` and `lsig` parameters don't work

[marm123]

I've tested a couple of cases with different ludocid parameters extracted from Google Maps (they are considered data_cid there) and lsig parameters from Google Local. None of them work. My understanding is that they should override the search query, like kgmid parameter in Google Search API or ludocid in Google Local.

Google Search API with ludocid:

Google Local API with the same ludocid:

lsig from Google Local API is ignored in Google Search API:

Perhaps these parameters are deprecated by Google. If that's the case we should remove them from the Playground and our Documentation.
