- Description
- Form autocomplete should rank its suggestions using an awesomebar-like frecency algorithm.
Goals / Use Cases
The form autocomplete currently just shows an alphabetically-sorted list of all matching values (which are tied to the fieldname). This isn't ideal -- frequently or recently used items are buried in the list, instead of floating to the top where they can be more easily accessed.
Non Goals
Eventually it would probably be interesting to match across fieldnames (eg, consider <input name="address"> and <input name="addr">), and doing substring matches within the values. For this first cut, we'll just add frecency ordering.
