[Chilli] Coova when no wan

[Ravikant Patil]

Search bar essentially creates https request to the respective search
engine. Hence it will get handle by coova-chilli exactly the way https
requests get handled. So, I think, all the above mentioned (possible set
of) solutions apply to search bar case also.

Ravikant
