Well, apart from the fact that popularityIndex is broken by design
(because it just counts up forever so doesn't consider recency), the
"fishy" thing which happened to popularityIndex is that your patch with
new scoring algorithm in Bug 970456 effectively disables it for an
unpredictably large number of usecases where search string happens to
match the visible results strings in a wordwise manner, more so for
matching the beginning of the visible result string, which is typically
the display name. So no matter now popular certain results are, they can
never get to the top.

Title:
  Nickname not over-riding names in email address

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Fix Released
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  From what I have read in the support forum the nickname should take
  priority in the search for an email address in the to: field. It does
  not appear to work any more.

  Example:

  One friend's address is Mark<Mark@xxxxxxxx>. The other is
  James<James.Mark@xxxxxxxx>. Both are in my address book with Mark
  entered as the nickname of Mark@xxxxxxxx  and James as nickname for
  James.Mark@xxxxxxxx.

  If I type james in the To: field I get james.mark as a first entry in
  the list of available addresses.

  If I type mark I get the same address again, when I would prefer the
  first optional address to be mark@xxxxxxxx

  Reason it is needed:
  I am trying to avoid sending emails meant for mark@xxxxxxxx to James.mark because I do not notice in time that I have defaulted to the first entry in the list of available addresses.
