Isn’t “%” used in URLs already?

Yes, but that doesn’t really matter. Restrict characters (such as * to restrict results to only bookmarks, + to only tagged bookmarks, etc) only work if they’re the first character in the URLbar input. So inputting “foo%20bar” will just do a normal awesomebar query. It’s not until you input something like “% foo” that it will restrict the results to only tab matches.
(And yes, I realize how horribly undiscoverable that is.)

Oh I see, yeah. Not terribly discoverable, no, but very powerful.
