This would be resolved at the service layer of the launcher. We could store a BTree containing the hashes of every input that had a source selected, with a Vec containing the last N source hashes that were chosen for that query. Then elevate the most-often-selected source hash to the top.

A Frequrecency (sp? frequency+recently) type algorithm would be ideal IMO, where items that are used recently or frequently are sorted above those used neither, and items used both frequently and recently are sorted above items used either.
