Marco Bonardo 75a804ecf6 Bug 1415908 - Intermittent failure (nsIAutoCompleteController.getCommentAt) in browser_ext_omnibox.js. r=adw
Fixes a timing bug where in certain moments matchCount may not be in sync with the current search status,
due to previous results not being cleared immediately. Still delays tree updates to avoid UI flickering.
Fixes a theorical timing issue in unifiedComplete where a stopped search could notify a result.
Removes the no more used OnUpdateSearchResult API.
