Description libing wang CLA 2012-09-12 17:33:28 EDT 
As mentioned in bug 386043 comment 4, we need a search proposal.
Comment 1 John Arthorne CLA 2012-09-13 10:31:51 EDT 
FYI Lucene has this capability. It was one of the reasons we moved to Lucene 3.x. Given a prefix, it will return words in the index close to or matching that prefix, similar to the completion in a google search.
Comment 2 John Arthorne CLA 2012-09-13 10:32:24 EDT 
Of course a simple history of previous search terms might be a good start too.

Yeah. There is already saved search popup menu in the search drop down list.
I think we just need another popup named as "recent search terms". We can simply put a list of the terms stored in the local storage.
