I assume that if I'm currently visiting <a href="http://evil.com">evil.com</a> and I start typing in a search, <a href="http://evil.com">evil.com</a> should not be able to see that. How should the searchBox API behave in that case?<br>
<br>Is the intent that the browser load a normal search page for some partial query and then expose the rest of the search query through this searchBox API? If so, it seems we'll need a way to detect ahead of time that a search service expects/supports such behavior.<br>
