The idea of iSearch comes to me instantly after I notice that Mozilla Firefox release its alpha version for Firefox 3. After my searching from the web all the news, announcements and technique notes on how to hack firefox autocomplete (the name maybe smart bar, url bar, location bar or awesome bar), there is a fact that firefox is not the first to auto-complete bookmarks and histories. The first is a firefox 2 extension called "Autocomplete Manager" .

released versions
0.0.1 A simple demo of improved url bar in firefox, use yahoo as url provider.
0.0.2 Search 6 items from history, 6 items from yahoo, mix up the result;

What to do in future versions
0.0.3 Support searching from other search engines(google,live...) and online bookmark providers(de.licio.us); Note that this item is very similar with Leogas, but I think it out before I visited Leogas's home page. It is very easy when you want to extend an offline search to online search
0.0.4 UTF-8 support, make it extensible for other languages;
0.0.5 Customization, an option window for users.
0.0.6 Support for Chinese search engines(Baidu, Sogou), accept search engine from other languages

Note: If you want to add an area for user feedback to any of your pages, take a look at the notes.html template.
