Description

Author: afeldman

Description:
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.

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.
