User Story

Firefox’s one-off search feature is difficult to discover and understand. We can add a “tab-to-search” function to put feature discoverability in the user’s path the moment it may be useful. We can also make the interaction better (you’ll now be able to see search suggestions from the provider), more understandable and make it work in both directions (before typing a query or after typing a query) if we make them work more like search shortcuts.

Details are being finalized and will follow, we'll start with the breakdown to understand technical requirements in the meanwhile.

I'm adding a WIP spec from UX. More sections will be added over the coming days. There will also be a separate design document for tab-to-complete (bug 1647921).

Here's the latest design spec at a public link. It's a WIP just like the previous one. Future updates should be at the same link.

I'm resolving this bug since the feature has been released, the only thing it's tracking yet is the holdback experiment in bug 1674187, that has its own life-cycle. Follow-up bugs, improvements and regressions should block Bug 1669525.
