Bug Description

Problem occurs with: Browser on Ubuntu 14.10 r3
Does not occur with: Safari on iOS

1. In the browser address field, type or paste the following line:
    data:text/html,<i>This is a test</i>

What you see: Google search results.

What you should see: "This is a test" in italics.

Direct entry of data: URIs is useful for Web app developers to see how a browser handles particular markup (for example bug 1370571).

This works in a plain oxide webview, so the problem is in the code that parses the contents of the address bar and rewrites it if it thinks it should be searched in a search engine.

  * Also set XDG_CONFIG_HOME (needed for tests not to override user-
    defined settings).
  * Update translation template.
  * Use the new Oxide APIs to better control visibility of the chrome.
    This bumps the runtime dependency on liboxideqt-qmlplugin to 1.7.
