Issue 4037: HistoryURLProvider scoring adjustments
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4037
New issue report by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
The HistoryURLProvider currently ensures that the What You Typed match is
either first or second. I think this is counterproductive, but doing
something better without breaking the ability of people to visit intranet
sites, or screwing up inline autocomplete/synchronous behavior is tricky.
I think the best we can do is:
* For all input types, inline autocompletions are best (as they are now)
* If we have an inline autocompletion, don't make a What You Typed entry at
all (unless one appears organically from the async pass; but don't do any
special score boosting)
* Otherwise,
** If the input is of type URL or REQUESTED_URL, create a What You Typed
entry as the best match.
** Otherwise (the input is of type UNKNOWN), create a low-scoring What You
Typed match and flag it as "must appear in result". The controller will
then be responsible for bumping the lowest entry to ensure this has a slot.
Make sure any later de-duping transfers this flag to a higher-scoring
entry.
I debated with sky on that last point; this is his sense of what the best
route is, but another alternative would be to simply not create a What You
Typed match at all (like we do when there is an inline autocompletion),
which saves a slot in the popup at the cost of confusing users who want to
use the popup to navigate to intranet URLs they haven't previously visited.
