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

// (A search keyword is a keyword with a replacement string; a bookmark keyword
// is a keyword with no replacement string, that is, a shortcut for a URL.)
//
// There are two possible providers for search suggestions. If the user has
// typed a keyword, then the primary provider is the keyword provider and the
// secondary provider is the default provider. If the user has not typed a
// keyword, then the primary provider corresponds to the default provider.
//
// Search providers may supply relevance values along with their results to be
// used in place of client-side calculated values.
//
// The value column gives the ranking returned from the various providers.
// ++: a series of matches with relevance from n up to (n + max_matches).
// --: relevance score falls off over time (discounted 50 points @ 15 minutes,
// 450 points @ two weeks)
// **: relevance score falls off over two days (discounted 99 points after two
// days).
// *~: Partial matches get a score on a sliding scale from about 575-1125 based
// on how many times the URL for the Extension App has been typed and how
// many of the letters match.
// +-: A base score that the provider will adjust upward or downward based on
// provider-specific metrics.
//
// A single result provider for the autocomplete system. Given user input, the
// provider decides what (if any) matches to return, their relevance, and their
