omnibox.SuggestResult

The omnibox.SuggestResult type defines a single suggestion that the extension can add to the address bar's drop-down list.

The extension's omnibox.onInputChanged event listener is passed a callback. To populate the address bar's drop-down list in response to the user's input, the extension can pass an array of omnibox.SuggestResult objects into this callback.

Type
