Being able to associate keywords with bookmarks is a fairly handy feature in FF,
but one that is probably underused.

What I propose is storing the search string used in address bar searches (via
Google's I'm feeling lucky) with the history items created after loading the
pages returned by the query.

Example - 

1) Bob types "example" in the address bar and hits enter.
2) A query is made to google which forwards Bob to "http://example.com/".
3) The string "example" is stored with the example.com page history item.
4) Some time later Bob types "example" again. This time after checking the
bookmark keywords, instead of sending a query to google it replaces the keyword
with the history item uri and takes Bob directly to example.com.

The keywords would stay associated until the user does a hard refresh of the
page or the history item expires.

Reproducible: Always
