673177 - Figure out awesomebar hit ratio telemetry probes

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

Gathering values with telemetry is really easy, but gathering useful ratios to actually improve the hit ratio or performance of the awesomebar is not.  Measuring frecency values or inputhistory entries by themselves would be mostly useless, so no bonus points in doing that.
We should figure out strategies to improve frecency and adaptive algorithms, and install probes to measure in the wild the possible effects of these improvements. This means we may want to be able to differentiate the origin of each autocomplete entry the user clicks on.
