If true an [AwesomeBar](../../mozilla.components.concept.awesomebar/-awesome-bar/index.md) implementation can clear the previous suggestions of this provider as soon as the
user continues to type. If this is false an [AwesomeBar](../../mozilla.components.concept.awesomebar/-awesome-bar/index.md) implementation is allowed to keep the previous
suggestions around until the provider returns a new list of suggestions for the updated text.
