The algorithm description and implementation are [http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/components/places/src/nsNavHistoryAutoComplete.cpp#43 here], quoted: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
* The current algorithm searches history from now backwards to the oldest | |||
* visit in chunks of time (AUTOCOMPLETE_SEARCH_CHUNK). We currently | |||
* do SQL LIKE searches of the search term in the url and title | |||
* within in each chunk of time. the results are ordered by visit_count | |||
* (and then visit_date), giving us poor man's "frecency". | |||
