Comment 3 for bug 988283

We just discussed this on IRC:

<pitti> chrisccoulson: question for you in bug 988283
<ubot2> Launchpad bug 988283 in ubufox "Drop extra parameter from startpage URL when the default search is Yahoo" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/988283
<chrisccoulson> pitti - ah. so, the way this works currently is that we just append the default search provider name to the startpage URL. However, only http://start.ubuntu.com/12.04/Google/ and http://start.ubuntu.com/12.04/Yahoo/ actually exist. Everything else is just redirected to the google site
 so, if you select a non-google or non-yahoo search provider, we offer the google startpage
<pitti> chrisccoulson: ok; still seems strange to do it this way around
<chrisccoulson> which is why the check is that way around
<pitti> ok
 thanks for the explanation

So, basically, it is this way around because we offer Google as a fallback if you select a non-Google or non-Yahoo search provider, but we only offer Yahoo if you select Yahoo as the search provider.
