Pete, I just tried this. I get five results for "Hello", none of which
are Spanish.

Can you re-check this? Something in the machinery may have changed since
you opened the bug, but I don't have the context to decide whether
that's really the case.

Title:
  Strong bias to Spanish language online search results

Status in Ubuntu Rest Scopes:
  Invalid
Status in unity-scope-mediascanner package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In the video scope, many searches find spanish language results.
  Searching for, e.g. "Hello", produces quite unexpected results.

  Is the smart scopes server's IP address geolocatable to be in a
  Spanish-speaking country or something like that? Is the user's locale
  getting all the way through to online search?

  I see this MR (https://code.launchpad.net/~marcustomlinson/unity-
  scopes-api/send_locale_with_sss_list/+merge/218914), but I'm not sure
  if that's really aimed at addressing this problem completely.
