When you hover over annotations the tooltip will display the title of the annotation.  We can display more useful information by either changing the title of the annotaation or by putting custom code into tooltip.js.

Marked occurrences - Annotation has no title, so in editor no tooltip is shown (Bug 463515) and in the ruler the line of code is shown.  This is pretty reasonable, though it does not match up with search result.

Matching search result - Displays title in tooltip "Matching Search".  Could remove the title to behave the same as Marked occurrences.

Matching bracket - Displays title "Current Bracket" and "Matching Bracket". I don't think a tooltip is helpful in the editor, maybe in the right hand ruler.

Tried a few different things and this simple change looks the best.  The current search still says current search, but all the other entries (including the overlapping matching search) will just display the line of code they apply to in the ruler tooltip.

In the future we could provide html content for our annotations (like git blame) that highlights the specific word.
