Overview
Sprint lead: sdwilsh
Sprinters: dietrich, Mardak
- Description
- Increase the speed of which location bar searches get results.
Goals / Use Cases
- Get more file IO off the the main thread.
- Stop filtering search results on the main thread.
Non Goals
- Change functionality of the location bar in any way.
Design
The idea is to use the asynchronous storage API and a user defined SQL function implemented in native code. This does mean we basically need to throw out all of our existing code for AutoComplete and start from scratch.
Bugs
bug 455555 - Use asynchronous queries for places AutoComplete
- Fixed on Places branch. See dependency tree for what is still blocking this from landing.
