Currently, there is a common class called "orion.inputCompletion" consumed by global search.
It requires the caller to provide the full set of proposals.
The default implementation of the provider is just getting user's preference on recent search and saved search. It is hard coded on the caller side now, where the globalCommands.js initializes the search field.

In a long run, we want this provider to be plug-able so that user can alternate from recent search to something else that makes more sense to them. E.g. a set of 500 hundred frequently used key words.

As the default implementation is reading user pref now, it is hard to convert the provider as a plugin. It is a post 1.0 stuff.
