Track "Local Searches"

[maltfield]

This is a request to add a new row (called Local Searches) to the spreadsheet that tracks whether or not searches done in the app are preformed locally on the device or remotely by the server.

Problem

Some apps do searches locally, so that the query string that a user typed is not sent to a remote server.

Some apps do searches remotely, so that whenever they search for something in their app -- the query string that the user typed is sent off to a remote server.

This important difference is currently not being tracked by privacyspreadsheet.com

Solution

A new row (called Local Searches) will display if an app does local or remote searching.

If an app preforms all of its searches locally (such that no query strings are ever sent to the provider's servers), then a green Yes should appear.

If an app preforms any of its searches remotely (such that it might, under any circumstances, send a user's query string to the provider's servers), then a red No should appear.
