I often try to use auto-complete to go to pages I visited recently at Wikipedia. So, I go to the Location bar and start typing:
wik
The problem is that Wikipedia pages actually start with en.wikipedia.org so "wik" doesn't work. Please make autocomplete more general so that it ignores more parts of hostnames.
Note: If this is fixed in Fx 3.0 with its new autocomplete system, I apologize for filing this bug needlessly.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Type this in the Location bar:
wik
Actual Results:
Page names starting with "en.wikipedia.org" are not shown
Expected Results:
Page names starting with "en.wikipedia.org" should be shown
