Trying to get caught up here, but it seems like:
1. Desktop is already saving/syncing search terms entered in the SearchBar and
displaying previous searches in the SearchBar dropdown list..
2. Fennec (Browser) is saving search terms entered in the URLBar (there is no
SearchBar).
3. Fennec (Search Activity) is saving search terms entered in the SearchBar and
displaying previous search terms on the LaunchScreen.
Given this, would the simplest approach to getting Fennec search terms into
Sync be to mimic the Desktop searchbar-history item?
We can discuss and plan new ways to make search terms more useful. Ideas have
included:
1. Adding the search engine used for the search
2. Geo-tagging
3. Time of day
But these aren't needed right away.
