296246 - Forms should also remember *parts* of earlier input

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050601 Firefox/1.0 (Ubuntu package 1.0.4)

I do a number of Google searches for "[some string] site:mozilla.org" or "[some
string] site:debian.org"; the [some string] part varies from query to query, but
quite often the 'site:' portion centers around a few websites. It would be handy
if forms could remember certain substrings of queries.

I grant that this would be tricky to implement in a useful way. It's an idea,
though.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
