Awesomebar ++

Features for the awesomebar in Firefox 3.1. The tracker bug for these is bug 455561.

Privacy

Provide the user with methods of excluding specific results or subsets of history and bookmarks from showing up in the awesomebar.

• tag-to-exclude (bug 450314)
• mark a folder of bookmarks as "private" (bug 455649)

Design needs:

• UI for folder properties pane
• Ideas for discoverability of the "private" tag?

Implementation notes:

• Design ETA:

Tab Search

Show matching open tabs in the awesomebar

UX:

• need icon for indicating an awesomebar result matches a tab
• should we have a "restrict search to only tabs" option, and which character to use?

Generate a content page of search results based on awesomebar search (ie: if there are more results than can be shown in the awesomebar, generate a page in content area showing them all with thumbnails).
