> if you want example.com, type exam in the awesomebar and example.bar will show up in suggestions
I just tried it. I have example.com in my history, and typed "exam". Example.com is the second thing firefox suggests. Before it, is a duckduckgo image search result page for the query "botanist", with an image titled "Young Botanist Examines The Plants In A Greenhouse Stock Photo". Firefox is picking up the "exam" in "Examines" and puts that result before example.com.
I don't really care which is first, I just want one or the other to be consistently first.
Please go to: Settings(preferences) --> Search
Then:
Search Suggestions:
Disable: Show search suggestions in address bar results
That should be it.
Below, go to Change settings for other address bar suggestions
it will navigate to: Address Bar / When using the address bar, suggest
Disable or enable as you see fit. I think the Search engines under the "Address Bar" is about the custom search engines one can define (i have a custom search for youtube, for example: y <search term>).
I already have "Provide search suggestions" turned off. It's pulling both of these suggestions out of my browser history. The order firefox uses for suggestions pulled from your history is inconsistent.
When searching your history from the address bar, firefox sometimes puts entries matched by domain name first, and sometimes puts entries matched by page contents first.
I'm not in front my my desk right now, but is it possible the results from History are weighted by frequency and/or recency? I know these attributes are recorded in the History db.
