// 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.
