Can I whitelist my Awesome Bar results?

I was wondering if it's possible to white list my options that drop down when typing in an address in the location bar, rather than only being able to clear/blacklist certain websites etc.

What I really want to accomplish is to only have major websites show up when I start to type in the url, rather than have every sub-page that I've been to show up as well.

For example, when typing in 'Youtube', I want to whitelist youtube.com, and youtube.com/(the channels I like). Rather than having youtube.com, and youtube.com/EVERYYOUTUBEVIDEOIVEEVERWATCHED show up.

I haven't been able to find an efficient way to do this, unless I'm missing something.

Chosen solution

There is no way to white-list URL's in the location bar drop-down list and only see specific entries.
The drop-down list is a list sorted by the number of visits (frecency).

You can bookmark specific pages and use such a bookmark instead (you can place all your favorite YouTube pages in one YouTube folder).
