Firefox:History
From MozillaWiki
Random notes on the future of History (and Bookmarks, since I think they're tied closely together)
- Move into mozStorage
- Might require cursors (next sqlite version), but I think we can get away with multiple db connections
- We can get rid of the cursors requirement once we have the new template builder, so that we don't have to generate history data from RDF
- Might require cursors (next sqlite version), but I think we can get away with multiple db connections
History is a pretty straightforward move; however, bookmarks are just a saved/flagged history entry. They should appear in both.
- Full text search of history pages? (Leave this to Google Desktop?)
- Thumbnails of bookmarked and/or history pages?
- Performance between sqlite and mork? Usage scenarios?
- Lots of queries, relatively fewer inserts
- Do we insert a history entry for page object load? (e.g. images)
I would like to see:
- Full text search of history pages
- Full text search of all bookmarked pages under some folder (including in subfolders)
Of course, these could be implemented as extensions first.
