     Bzt, thanks for playing but, sorry, that is incorrect!  Limiting the
maximum rich responses does not revert the behavior of the AwesomeBar back to
FF2.x.  It still will search for text in the middle of a string whereas FF2.x
only search for text immediately following the URI Scheme (ie, http://) and I
believe ignoring also the all-to-common www.  What this means is that if, for
example, I want to go to forums.someplace.com but not
www.someplaceelse.com/forums I can type forums to get the former and not the
latter.  In 3.x forums will bring up both and sort them by how often I visit them.

    But, hey, you're not the first person to mistake the cosmetic changes as
the crux of the difference between the two.  ;)
