Details

Currently, restricting/filtering awesomebar results is very unfriendly. The feature isn't advertised in any way, its undiscoverable, and there's no correlation between the restrict characters and their actual use. Even when using a restrict character, its not shown what it's actually doing. A better mechanism needs to be provided to expose this functionality.
