Firefox 3 - AwesomeBar hacks II

When you type an URL in FF3, it displays all the history/bookmarks URLs which matches any part of the typed pattern. This was not the case with Firefox 2, where it would show only the results matching the beginning of the URL. In this latest version, you can have both the features. You just type '//' and then the the URL to match only the beginning.
This new feature to match any pattern comes very handy when you are typing a blog or a flickr URL where you just have to type the profile/nick name. This is an awesome feature and am just loving it.
