Currently the user has to remember the keywords assigned to search plugins or bookmarks in order for keyword search to be useful. Its usefulness decreases as the number of assigned keywords increases.

I suggest matching these keywords as well when typing in the location bar. The matching should be similar to that of Ubiquity's, e.g. suggesting the search plugin or bookmark with the keyword "google" when "g" is entered.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Assign a keyword to a search plugin or bookmark.
2. Start typing part of the keyword in the location bar.
Actual Results:  
No search keyword suggestions are provided.

Expected Results:  
Suggestions for possible search keywords are provided.
