23 // The AutocompleteProviders each return different kinds of matches,
24 // such as history or search matches. These matches are given
25 // "relevance" scores. Higher scores are better matches than lower
26 // scores. The relevance scores and classes providing the respective
27 // matches are as listed below.
29 // IMPORTANT CAVEAT: The tables below are NOT COMPLETE. Developers
30 // often forget to keep these tables in sync with the code when they
31 // change scoring algorithms or add new providers. For example,
32 // neither the HistoryQuickProvider (which is a provider that appears
33 // often) nor the ShortcutsProvider are listed here. For the best
34 // idea of how scoring works and what providers are affecting which
35 // queries, play with chrome://omnibox/ for a while. While the tables
36 // below may have some utility, nothing compares with first-hand
37 // investigation and experience.
