Filtering is better than searching!
It suffixes all your bookmarks with the name of their folders, domains, parts of the URL
F is for Folder
D is for domain name
P is for URL path

User Reviews
This add-on does not properly deinstall. It changes the names of your bookmarks forever.
And after deinstallation it continues to give folder path, domain name and url path when you execute a search.
P.S.
The developer questions my observation about the bookmarks.
I give an example: https://twitter.com/twitter was named in my bookmarks: Twitter. After installation and deinstallation of Filter AwesomeBar it is now named: Twitter ::: ::: dtwitter dcom ::: ptwitterundefined.
Another example: http://www.nytimes.com/ was named in my bookmarks: New York Times. After installation/deinstallation is is now named: New York Times ::: fbookmarksmenu f.media fonlinenz ::: dwww dnytimes dcom ::: undefined. Notice that my folder structure is represented in the new bookmark name.
I use Windows 10 and the newest Firefox 58.0.2 (64-bit). I have tested the add-on in two profiles, to be sure. I have several thousand bookmarks and they are all renamed. Luckily I make frequently back-ups, or I would be very sad.
Maybe I do not fully understand what the developer means with "If you install it and then toggle the Browser action, it will revert your bookmarks to the old values." But I am pretty sure I do not get my old bookmarks back. And also, the search action is permanently changed, as described above.
I feel sorry for the developer. I have no reason to doubt his good intensions.

Is Filter AwesomeBar Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Filter AwesomeBar requires very minimum permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
- Medium Access to bookmarks may provide insights into user preferences and interests but generally carries low risk.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Filter AwesomeBar is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
