Bug 791776 suggests that the synchronous query of UIC_startSearch can be damaging. We should investigate exactly how much.

shouldn't you import the module somewhere?
As it is this just breaks the functionality... I expect tests to fail!

The refObj doesn't look needed since this is synchronous, there can't just be concurrent calls, so it can be omitted.

The latter part of the comment feels redundant, we use bugzilla to track bugs, not the code :)

nit: just to shrink this a bit you may just use _URLINLINE_ and avoid to repeat COMPLETE (it's already in AUTOCOMPLETE)

Oops.

Right. I may have my mind a little too much asynch-oriented these days :)
