The "Awesome" bar search your history for keyword from the domain you search. However, even when trying to type the absolute URL, the search algorithm will put the absolute url dead last. Is there a way for the search to put a priority on the absolute search?

For instance?

Lets say I have in my history / bookmarks the following url:

www.mydomain.com mydomain.example.com www.foo.com/mydomain


If I start typing "www.mydo", Firefox usually return mydomain.example.com first, completely ignoring the www I previously typed.

Depending on the keyword, sometime the full url can be 5 results down the list.

I really would like to know if there's a way to increase the priority of absolute url. Thanks.

I tried those, and sadly, it doesn't solve the issue.

Typing www.mywe will returns results such as mywebsite.com mywebsite.example.com mywebsite.foo.com mywebsite.bar.com www.mywebsite.com

Filtered by what seem frequency rather than hit ratio. To me, it seem Firefox is simply ignoring the www keyword and start searching once something else is entered, using only that as a search word.
