 451 // (kBundledExperimentFieldTrialName), each experiment group comes with a
 452 // list of parameters in the form:
 453 //   key=<Rule>:
 454 //       <OmniboxEventProto::PageClassification (as an int)>:
 455 //       <whether Instant Extended is enabled (as a 1 or 0)>
 456 //     (note that there are no linebreaks in keys; this format is for
 457 //      presentation only>
 458 //   value=<arbitrary string>
 459 // Both the OmniboxEventProto::PageClassification and the Instant Extended
 460 // entries can be "*", which means this rule applies for all values of the
 461 // matching portion of the context.
 462 // One example parameter is
 463 //   key=SearchHistory:6:1
 464 //   value=PreventInlining
 465 // This means in page classification context 6 (a search result page doing
 466 // search term replacement) with Instant Extended enabled, the SearchHistory
 467 // experiment should PreventInlining.
 468 //
 469 // When an exact match to the rule in the current context is missing, we
 470 // give preference to a wildcard rule that matches the instant extended
 471 // context over a wildcard rule that matches the page classification
 472 // context.  Hopefully, though, users will write their field trial configs
 473 // so as not to rely on this fall back order.
 474 //
 475 // In short, this function tries to find the value associated with key
 476 // |rule|:|page_classification|:|instant_extended|, failing that it looks up
 477 // |rule|:*:|instant_extended|, failing that it looks up
 478 // |rule|:|page_classification|:*, failing that it looks up |rule|:*:*,
 479 // and failing that it returns the empty string.
