You can make large selections in your history and delete them. Be aware that that might adversely affect your use of the AwesomeBar. See Viewing the browsing history for how to select and delete.

The AwesomeBar search is what you get in the location bar drop-down when you enter strings of characters that exist in the Title and/or url address of a previously visited site or one that you have in your bookmarks. You see those choices before you press "Enter".
