URI prefill only search by origin

When I visit Yahoo, I want to only see the relevant results for https://www.yahoo.com, and not all the other accounts I have using [email protected] as the username.


(Added by @jimporter)

In particular, this means that the auto-filled URL in the doorhanger should only match the origins of each entry, not the title, username, etc. One way to support this would be with a mini-format that allows users (and Lockbox itself) to specify the field to search on. For example:

@sandysage

I'm not sure this makes sense, and contradicts the notes/gist references in #527. This is particularly true for sites that have separate sub-domains for "desktop" (almost always "www."; e.g., "www.facebook.com") versus "mobile" (e.g., "mobile.facebook.com").

With the above, the results may be "no entries" when the user's perception of their entries is that there is (at least) one.

I think I now see the intent, which is to filter the doorhanger by only site name (origin) when it is first opened.

@linuxwolf Yeah, I should probably go in and update the original comment with some more details. I think I alluded to it elsewhere, but the idea is that we shouldn't match on, say, the username field.

e: Updated.
