Code that you insert on this page could contain malicious content capable of compromising your account. If you import a script from another page with "importScript", "mw.loader.load", "iusc", or "lusc", take note that this causes you to dynamically load a remote script, which could be changed by others. Editors are responsible for all edits and actions they perform, including by scripts. User scripts are not centrally supported and may malfunction or become inoperable due to software changes. A guide to help you find broken scripts is available. If you are unsure whether code you are adding to this page is safe, you can ask at the appropriate village pump.

/* 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.
