1807724 - Provide an option to show search results after local results (history, bookmarks, tabs etc)

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Search, enhancement)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/17196.

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

Currently in fenix the search results are showing ahead of browsing history and bookmarks. The desktop version has the setting "Show search suggestions ahead of browsing history in address bar results" which is by default disabled in desktop version however in mobile version the behaviour is opposite and there is no preference to configure this.
Please add this option in fenix version similar to desktop version

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

With current settings bookmarks suggestions are pushed to the end, making them pointless...also the behaviour should be same as desktop version.

Desktop version
Bookmarks suggestions
History suggestions
Search result

Fenix
Search result
History suggestions
Bookmarks suggestion

Who will benefit from it?

All users.. behaviour should be consistent and similar to other browsers
