1477411 - Awesomebar history results should collapse or limit URLs with the same fragments

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1389229

(Firefox :: Address Bar, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Manish Goregaokar [:manishearth]]

Attachment: results.png

Currently my history has a bunch of URLs with the title "WebAudio API":

 - A bunch of URLs of the form https://webaudio.github.io/web-audio-api/#foo
 - A bunch of URLs of the form https://reviewable.io/reviews/servo/servo/21158#foo
 - https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/21158 , sometimes with some fragments

When I type "webaudio" or "webaudio API", I mostly get results from the first one, with some from the second. I rarely get the third, even though that's the one I'm looking for. (I have something similar for when I type some web API name, hoping to get the MDN page and instead getting a million DXR results for the same file at different lines)


We probably should be collapsing or limiting URLs with the same fragment in these results, unless they're the only thing that matches.

(Perhaps even doing a bit of per-domain limiting if it's the only thing that matches)

I'm marking this a P5 not because I think it's unimportant but because it's not on our roadmap AFAIK.  As I said in the other bug I agree with you and I'd actually like to work on this sometime soon.
