948303 - [User Story] Rocketbar: URL History Search

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Search, defect)

Description

[Peter Dolanjski [:pdol]]

User Story:
As a user, I want Rocketbar to search and display results based on partial URLs or webpage titles that I enter for websites that I have visited in the past to make it much quicker to browse to sites I've previously visited.

Acceptance Criteria:
1. I can enter a partial string and relevant results from my history are displayed as is currently done in the Browser.
2. Selecting one of the history results loads that page.

Assumptions: 
1. UX spec to specify number of entries. 
2. Frecency algorithm is the same that is currently used in the Browser Awesome Bar. 
3. String matching with historical web pages is the same as in Browser Awesome Bar.

The work we are doing for this so far is in bug 952098. I've updated the 'User Story' field of that bug, and am marking this as a duplicate. Going to carry over the whiteboard tags as well.

Francis, should we kill this requirement based on your desire to just use autocomplete?

Oh.  I missed seeing this.  It used to be that the history would show on an empty bar.  We currently don't have that on 2.0 and we do have that on 1.4.  See bug 1027240

Hi Naoki, I think you're referring to search term history, rather than URL history. 

Peter, WRT to the bug, I think we should probably keep this as a user story, but one potential way to solve it would be through autocomplete. Keeping myself as a NI until I have a spec for this.
