[Suggestion for improvement] Implementation of a trovu API for search suggestions

[Wikinaut]

Recently https://anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1866-b453-203f-976270399410 reports about a way to add an API for search suggestions.

I think, this is valid method to add trovu's suggestions to browsers which can handle that.

m #Firefox #Browser für #Android könnt ihr eine eigene #Suchmaschine hinzufügen. Ich verwende die #Searx Instanz #Gruble von #Adminforge. Nun werden bei manuell hinzugefügten Suchmaschinen keine Suchvorschläge angezeigt, wenn ich etwas in die Adressleiste eintippe. Dazu müsst ihr eine zusätzliche URL für die Vorschläge einrichten.

Als URL habe ich eine von #DuckDuckGo in Verwendung ac.duckduckgo.com/ac/?q=%s&typ…

If I understand correctly, this is the same as <Url type="application/x-suggestions+json" template="[suggestionURL]"/> in OpenSearch.

The problem with this is that Trovu currently is

1. a static site, with no server-side code
2. offering full-privacy: the entire processing of a query happens in the client.

With the suggestionURL, I can only provide a template URL, where the browser will send entered search terms to. The matching with the shortcuts then has to happen on the server.

So Trovu could not be a static site anymore. But even if I'd be ok with that, I can't see how I still could offer the current privacy.

Do you see a scenario where I could?
