Apr 24, 2017 at 15:53 comment added MrZander Aren't search suggestions different for different users and regions? I don't think having standard test cases really works for this.

Apr 24, 2017 at 1:23 comment added tsh @mınxomaτ but why not https -> http (save 1 byte), remove www. (save 4 bytes), google.com -> google.us (save 1 byte) or even google.com -> g.cn (save 6 bytes; i'm not sure why this still works, but it seems that it still working in 20170424)

Apr 24, 2017 at 0:23 comment added ckjbgames @mınxomaτ Oh. It does work. Cool!
Apr 24, 2017 at 0:21 comment added user42643 @ckjbgames Example: https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=hp&q=a. I'm just saying requiring that subdomain is not required.
Apr 24, 2017 at 0:20 comment added ckjbgames @mınxomaτ It gives me a 404 Error when I try, but I'm glad it works for you.

Test cases
Apr 24, 2017 at 0:14 comment added user42643 @ckjbgames Why use suggestqueries? https://www.google.com/complete is working fine for me, too.

Apr 23, 2017 at 23:49 comment added ckjbgames @Dennis Done! Now only requires that the URL suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search be used.

Apr 23, 2017 at 23:44 comment added ckjbgames @Dennis Ok. I will change it where people will only have to use any URL from suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search.
Apr 23, 2017 at 23:29 comment added Dennis Well, I don't think it's a good idea. If a language can handle XML easier, why not let it use output=toolbar instead? There are other output methods that might also be interesting.
Apr 23, 2017 at 23:20 comment added ckjbgames @Dennis I did that because it was suggested that I have a standard URL for everyone to use (by @Riker).

Apr 23, 2017 at 22:03 comment added Dennis Nevermind, output=toolbar generates XML, the OP's URL doesn't.
Apr 23, 2017 at 21:44 comment added Beta Decay Somewhat related (both involve parsing downloaded JSON objects)

Apr 23, 2017 at 21:40 comment added Bald Bantha I don't think the strict url should be enforced. Banning URL shorteners should do the trick already.
Apr 23, 2017 at 21:36 comment added Dennis In particular, if we can use output=toolbar, we don't have to specify a client at all.
Apr 23, 2017 at 21:30 comment added Dennis Why the strict URL? As long as suggestqueries.google.com is used, without any URL shorteners, I don't see any problems.
Apr 23, 2017 at 21:16 comment added Beta Decay I would standardise a client name, to make it fair
