How to make Firefox's awesome bar (address bar) to work like in Google Chrome? I mean especially search (words search, not URLs) auto complete from search history.
This addon does not answer my question, but I like to use it too. It suggests words search from search engine suggestions list, but I want also suggestions from phrases, which I input earlier (like in Chrome), immediately showing it in the awesome bar in blue (or red) color while I type. Also I want auto saving of these suggestions between browser restart.
I want like this, but not only for URLs suggestions (I want for words suggestions from my search history too):
P.S: Omnibox is the other name for Omnibar addon, which does not satisfy my requests as I wrote in my question.
P.P.S: I don't want search completion from URLs and tittle of sites as in the addon Prospector – Speak Words

A blog from Mozilla has already shown how to Combine Your Firefox Search Bar and Address Bar since 2013, suggesting the Foobar add-on
For more suggestions see Combine Firefox Address Bar and Search Bar into One Like Chrome
However you can already search from the address bar without a keyword even before that, since at least 2010. There's also a blog from Mozilla in 2012 talking about Easy Awesome Bar Search. If you don't want to see the search bar just right click on the toolbar > customize and remove the search bar. See
Later in Firefox 57 Mozilla has turned off the search bar by default, with an option to change between the two layouts
