328559 - Search for address/URL/URI, not only title, in history

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 208795

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[db]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

I want to be able to search for addresses, not only their titles in the Firefox history.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open history
2. Search for Mozilla
3. This page (<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox>) isn't found because its title is 'Enter a bug'.

Actual Results:  
It is unnecessary difficult to find pages in the history.

Expected Results:  
This page isn't found

I want some options when I search in the history, typically:

1. Search page titles
2. Search page addresses
3. Search page domains
4. Search page paths, i.e., the 'tail' after the protocol type and FQDN (for this page that would be 'enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox')

These options should be combinable, probably by using either check boxes (like the one on the Enter bug page you can check if it is security problem) or a menu where you can check multiple items simultaneously.

Maybe Places is want you want? Will be present in the next milestone (2.0).

Duplicate of bug 208795?

Not sure offhand what to do with this, we're already going to do this, but I'm not sure what specific bug to dupe this to.  Random duping is probably ok, tbh.

That bug covers this option and as mentioned should be fixed in firefox 2.0
