101015 - URL autocomplete should prioritize URLs in Location Bar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 97470

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Keith Briscoe]

URL autocomplete should list URLs in Location Bar before it lists URLs from the
history which are not in the Location Bar.

Reasoning:

There are several URLs offered in the dropdown which are ads.*.* sites.  If I
type in a site beginning with "a", I should be offered sites I have
intentionally visited BEFORE sites that may have accidentally entered my history.

Example:

- Turn on autocomplete-as-you-type
- Go to www.tomshardware.com
- Now start typing www.ars-technica.com
- When you're done typing "www.a" Mozilla autocompletes
"http://www.ad.tomshardware.com/cgi-bin/bd.m?count=122&time=100109735852&image=http://connect.247media.ads.link4ads.com/serv/1/toms_hardware/toms_hardware_ros/toms_hardware_ros/31020;type=t;target=_new;uniq=100109735852"
Obviously, the autocomplete has suggested a URL that I would never actually want
to go to (sorry Tom).

Fixing this bug may make fixing bug#96700 unnecessary, but you can ask the
reporter of that bug.

Dang, this is a dupe.  Forget it.

Based on reporter's comments, marking as (I'm guessing) a dupe of bug 97470.
