+| [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335448 Autosuggest search engines based on usage]
+| Many websites have search fields that are used many times over, but these websites do not present themselves as search-capable and offer to add itself as a new engine in the browser. Firefox should detect these repeated search field usage and offer that as an option to the user. At a minimum, it should be able to detect it add an entry with "Add [website]" in the searchbar dropdown. After the detection part is working well, a refined UX for the feature can be discussed and prototyped (but that shouldn't be the focus of the project).
+The student should be able to propose methods on how the detection algorithm should work and how to make improvements on it over the course of the project.
+| Great JS skills and understanding of DOM, HTML form fields, and algorithms (db and data structures that will be used to store and search the input field history to detect patterns of search usage)
