Details

For things like top-sites, I'd like to avoid showing the same domain a lot (i.e. six facebook sites). An easy fix I think would be to store the domain as a separate column in the database, and then just group on it in the query.
This plan sound ok?

From a data storage perspective, yeah, that's fine.

From a top sites perspective, this might need some additional thought to flesh out the expected user experience.

Relevant: Bug 934702 and Bug 934030.

I think there might be some more value in first addressing redirects, mobile versions, etc. (Bug 934030) than in straight-up showing only one result per domain.

Accurately determining what's a "site" is complicated, so we should tread kinda carefully here. Every Facebook page is in the same domain, every Blogger blog is in the same domain… but every Tumblr has its own subdomain. Some (all?) Google apps get a subdomain.
