Comment 9 for bug 670358

Again the use case is not visible to the user. It is all about sorting and ranking.
I want to use it in Synapse. For that I need to have "starred subjects" which are all subject that have been ACCESSED or MODIFIED more than 10 times within the last 24h. These are usually things that are stamped in the users mind.
Now querying for most used does not tell me how many times it was used. Thus if i opened something 2 times in a day making it the most used subject it actually bullcrap.
Allowing me to query for the subjects and having a count would tell me how they relatively match to each other as well as how they rank in an absolute matter.
I know it sounds stupid but there is no use case for it. It makes development easier.
Another one I can think of is Unity Places. I have the most used. Now lets say the most used person was contacted 10 times in the last 24 hours and all others were contacted 9 times. This makes the count irrelevant since 10 to 9 is not big of a difference to make it stand out. Thus I shouldn't consider it as a star item.
