It is sort of hard to understand what is being listed in Awesome bar. Sometimes I am looking for a bookmark but I could not find what I'm looking for since the results are hard identify. Would be cool to have such option.
I have thought about this before. I haven't ruled it out, but I haven't implemented it yet because I don't see a big gain from it (not anymore in the later Firefox versions for about a year at least).
Bookmarks are easy to spot, they have the star in their entries. If you don't see those you should look into some theme/style issues you may be having. Now between history and open tabs it's harder sure. Open tabs you can spot because these won't show their urls, only a "Switch to tab" action label with a little icon by it.
All the entries in the suggestions list are sorted using a complex relevance algorithm that Firefox employs (I don't know the specifics), based on last visited time, number of visits, likeness to what you typed, etc. Grouping the entries like that would also effectively null this relevance sorting as well.
I understand your concerns about it. Also I agree that there are way to differentiate but it usually takes a bit of time before you do so. Information is not very easy to find or comprehend considering search supposed to be a quick way to navigate. Therefore I think it would be a nice additions (as an option) to The Fox Only Better. But it is just me :)
@Nidre It's not just you. :smile:
The increased number of suggestion items available when using Beyond Australis makes the exclusive use of Firefox's frecency algorithm less desirable.
It would come handy, but for serious searches one can't select proper without the infos an engine with full page results can provide. Most time I'm using the bar looking for local resources only.
