User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030706 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030706 Bookmark keywords are not included in autocomplete results unless they have been typed in previously. When they are included they are surrounded by "http://" and "/" as if they were host names. (At least this happens with keywords with no arguments. Keywords with arguments don't show up at all.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new simple bookmark keyword with no arguments. 1. Enter it in the location bar, noting the autocomplete entries. 2. Type it in again and look at the autocomplete entries again. Actual Results: The first time the keyword is entered, it doesn't show up in the autocomplete at all (unless you gave it a name that too closely matches a place you visited before.) The second time, among the autocomplete results you will see the keyword, surrounded by "http://" and "/" like it was a host name. Expected Results: Even on first typing in the keyword in the location bar it should show up in the autocomplete results, not made up like an URL. Idealy I think bookmark keyword matches should rank higher than URLs in typeahead, but at this point I'd be happy to just have them show up properly. Using 1.4 with no-GDI caching patch from bug 204374.
I realized this is better presented as an enhancement bug. Retitling to suit.

Please implement this easy, but useful feature. Also, please display on the right side description of keyword in the address bar.

In support of this enhancement: When I type a bookmark keyword [not tag] into location bar, then press enter, the URL of that keyword bookmark will definitely be loaded. It is weird that the actual URL about to be loaded is NOT shown in location bar dropdown list. But it's not the only thing that is not shown in the awesome bar dropdown though it should be... (bug 424797). The latter bug prevents effective use of the workaround for this bug 212605, namely that you can include the keyword in the title of your bookmark (e.g. "[wp] wikipedia quicksearch").

(In reply to comment #7) > Edward, I believe this is a dupe of bug 392143? That's a Firefox bug, this is not.
