/* Cookie-based search suggest disable test for anon users, version [0.0.1]
 
Sets a cookie via URL parameter, examples:
  disable search suggest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?disableSearchSuggest=true
 reenable search suggest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?enableSearchSuggest=true
 
Would need to be placed in the site-wide JS (possibly conditional on wgUserName) and links
to the enable/disable provided (possibly on Special:Search).
 
Hacky and probably unneeded if https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13848 is done.
