   I can’t believe I didn’t know about this yet! I love the Awesome Bar (mostly because it’s called the Awesome Bar), and this is a great tip. I spend most of my time on only a few sites, and this is a perfect way to make it more efficient. Thanks!

   @David Pierce:
   The best tips are always the simple ones! I cannot believe I missed this also!

   Thanks for the comment.

   Dang… Yeah Andrew you are so right. We always overlook simple stuff and never realise how good they are!

   Thanks!

   Neat trick, I used the bar to search but never with the shortcuts. Can’t wait to try it.

   Nice tip. I always used only one word in the bar and then scrolled down to find what I need.

   I just tried this trick and found out that you can type in more than two text blocks. The more blocks you add, the more accurate result you’ll get.

   BTW, something is wrong with your “Top Commentators” widget. It links to the page it’s placed on.

   Hmmm … I mean … this IS the Awesome Bar. What else is awesome about it? Maybe that’s the part _I_ didn’t know 😉

   Haha I can’t believe I didn’t know about this trick. I just tried it on my site and getting to the admin panel and it works flawlessly!

    I have to join in, I didn’t know this either. Just amazing how far advanced FF is over IE.

    The most amazing tips are usualy the ones that are seemingly obvious. Stuff that designers don’t even put in tutorials since they think it’s a common sense. Once you realise the awesomness of the feature you just can’t remember that you were able to live without it.
