Firefox has a very handy feature, the Awesome bar:
Just type a few letters of a website’s name or address into the location bar and it will find it for you. And the more you use it, the better it gets.
For me, it has substituted use of bookmarks. It's more efficient to start writing the title of some web page in the Awesome bar than start checking whether I have saved the page a bookmark or not.
Is there some way to make Windows File Explorer behave the same way, providing auto-complete and learning about my behavior?
If not, are there then any 3rd party applications which would offer the awesomeness of the Awesome bar?

The one I've been using before has been Launchy, but I stopped using it after I got used to Windows 7 Start menu lookup. It works decently well, only not for files, but still can be configured.
About Launchy, it is mostly intended for executable files, but you can tweak its settings to look for any type of file you like. It works decently fast as well.
