Use these Awesome Bar keyboard shortcuts to speed up your search. If you are looking for a specific type of result, like a bookmark or tag, typing in these special characters after each search term, separated by spaces, in the location bar will filter your results:
* Add '''<nowiki>^</nowiki>''' to search for matches in your browsing history.
* Add '''*''' to search for matches in your bookmarks.
* Add '''+''' to search for matches in pages you've tagged.
* Add '''%''' to search for matches in your currently open tabs.
* Add '''~''' to search for matches in pages you've typed.
* Add '''#''' to search for matches in page titles.
* Add '''@''' to search for matches in web addresses (URLs).
For example, if you're looking for a page you bookmarked called ''Mozilla Firefox Support'', you might type ''mozilla''. The autocomplete results appear, but might not show the page you want.
You can narrow your results down to bookmarks only by making your search string ''mozilla *''.
If you still have too many results, you can further restrict the search by making your search string ''mozilla * support #''. Now the autocomplete list will only show bookmarked pages with ''mozilla'' and ''support'' in the page title.
The Firefox location bar, also called the URL bar, address bar or [[Awesome Bar - Search your Firefox bookmarks, history and tabs from the address bar|Awesome Bar]], shows the address ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_resource_locator URL]) of the web page you're on. It's also a great tool for searching your browsing history, bookmarks, open tabs, and more. Just start typing in the location bar and a list of sites to choose from will be displayed.
