This will be a big help for me. Makes me wonder how many more there are that are just too cumbersome to discover.
- mklein994 8y agoI always forget them, so I have this bookmarked: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-search-firefox-bookmarks-history-tabs#w_changing-results-on-the-fly https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-search-fire... TL;DR: Add ^ 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 page titles. Add $ to search for matches in web addresses (URLs). Add ? to search for matches in suggestions.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoYou know the other modifiers for history (^), favourites (*), and tag search (+), page title (#), url($), and suggestions (?) too. I use the first 3, they compound too (in a slightly strange way, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-search-firefox-bookmarks-history-tabs https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-search-fire..., see last few paras.).
