Overview
We're building a search activity so we can do some experimentation around search outside of the browser on Android devices. The core idea is that we provide a search activity that puts users back in control of their search & search data, allowing them to customize and control what engines they use, how their results are shaped, and how their data is ultimately used (or not used). We also intend that, eventually, the activity will "learn" about the user over time by way of a frecency algorithm that will further tailor search engines and results to each user's preferences and location.
From the UX deck:
For internet users who are dissatisfied with the tedious nature of finding exactly what they're looking for online, Firefox Search provides a fast and easy-to-read way for users to learn about the things they are looking for, in real time.
Unlike other search activities, we do not lock users into a single source of information, and instead provide flexibility and choice of inputs so that we can offer most useful possible information.
