572452 - Awesome bar should autocomplete searches with search engine keywords

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 389903

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100402 Namoroka/3.6.3

I have added several search engines to the search bar and assigned a keyword to each search engine (gg for Google, wp for Wikipedia e.g.).

If I type "gg foo" into the awesome bar and press Enter it searches Google for the term "foo", if I type "wp foo" it searches Wikipedia.

When I close this tab and type "gg f" again it only shows bookmarked pages which contain the strings "gg" and "f" in the drop down list but not my previous search "gg foo".

This should be changed, so that previous searches done with a search engine keyword are autocompleted resp. listed in the dropdown list, too, as it is done in Opera.

This is particularly important for more complex researches like "gg foo1 foo2 foo3 foo4 ..." which can't be remembered but probably need to be done repeatedly.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2

I don't think this is a duplicate, because bug 389903 is for bookmark keywords.
I'm talking about search bar keywords, which can also be used in the awesome bar.
If both are the same then close it again as duplicate and I'll add a comment to the other bug regarding the search bar keywords.

Well found the last comment about the search bar keyword. So I added a comment to bug 389903.
