Rich Entities: low quality matches become more prominent

Project Member Reported by ellyjo...@chromium.org, Jul 11

Issue description

When using the omnibox with extremely short query strings, the results are often very poor matches - this has been the behavior for a long time. However, Rich Entities makes these poor matches much more visible than they were before, which draws my eye to how bad they are. A couple of examples are attached.

In the completions for "z", the "Jay-Z" rich entity is the only match which isn't either a history match or a search suggestion. Both of the history matches are basically spurious, as are the search suggestions. The Jay-Z match stands out much more, though, and it drew me to notice how not-related to my query it is.

In the completions for "yah", all the other matches are related to "yahoo" - which makes good sense in the context of my navigation and search history. In the middle there's a large and bright match for a song I've never heard by an artist I've never listened to. It's weird to sort of visually promote what is by far the least relevant match in this set.

Reducing the priority because this is something we can tune after the M69 branch point.

Temporarily reducing the priority while we work on any issues that may need to be merged.
