[Bug 531332] [NEW] default search provider for ja locale

[Nobuto MURATA]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubufox

We, Ubuntu Japanese LoCo team, propose to change default search provider
for ja locale.

Expected result:
 1. search result page interface is localized and translated in Japanese.
 2. "pages in Japanese" narrow down works
 3. search page ranking is reasonable

Actual result with yahoo.com:
 1. search result page is displayed in English.
 2. "pages in Japanese" narrow down does not work. "pages in Japanese" hits pages written in English.
 3. search page ranking is unreasonable. because yahoo.com's search engine cannot recognize Japanese properly.

yahoo.com covers Germany, France, Spain, etc. like *.yahoo.com. So in these locales, search result pages are translated well.
Yahoo! Japan (yahoo.co.jp) covers Japan, but it is not a part of yahoo.com.

Back to Google will solve these 3 problems.
