Steps to reproduce:

i often went to: https://github.com/collective/plone.app.event
but now the old location is 404, the new one on: https://github.com/plone/plone.app.event


Actual results:

awesome bar still suggests https://github.com/collective/plone.app.event when i enter plone.app.ev...


Expected results:

404 urls should just removed from awesome bar. new ones with same keywords can then take precedence over old ones.
an awesome bar DB editor would also be nice, but that's likely more an addon than a core feature.
just mark the entry you don't want and hit del, just cause a page was 404 at one time doesn't mean it will stay that way, and losing the url just cause a website miss configuration or something would be confusing.
nice to know, thanks for that. i'm unsure i my suggestion might be more userfriendly or not... 

i could have read https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-find-your-bookmarks-history-and-tabs#w_removing-autocomplete-results to find out by myself, but i didn't.

thanks for the answer anyways.
knowing the <DEL> feature is totally useful, actually!
Marking duplicate, although that bug is about lower ranking for such URLs.
