Searchlists

[pjrobertson]

This is a first attempt at using HTTPS URLs where possible

OK, so what are you thinking the process will be for getting these files to the server when they change.

Also, DuckDuckGo definitely supports HTTPS and should probably be listed under “Other Search Engines”.

I was just thinking of writing a simple script, but it seems some stuff already exists.

I'm not sure of the security implications though - if the hook URL wasn't public then it'd be OK I s'pose

DuckDuckGo has been added. I only got part way through the list (before I gave up on the huge mess that is the full list), so don't expect there to be many meaningful changes there.
The $1m question: should we wipe the full list entirely?

[skurfer]

I don’t use the built-in lists, so keep that in mind, but my thoughts on the full list:

• It’s full of stuff no one will ever use
• It’s probably full of stuff that doesn’t exist any more
• It’s impossible to maintain

I’d be happy if the plug-in just came with something like the short list available by default. I think everyone wins if people just maintain their own lists of things that matter to them.
