Filing based on feedback.

We can decide to WONTFIX this, but I think it needs consideration.
I'm inclined to wontfix this, unless someone can offer a rationale of why search history should look unique or different from search suggestions. 

Note that the typography of suggestions *will* look slightly different when we finish implementing the grey/black type styling for suggestions, as shown here in one of Anthony's mockups: http://cl.ly/image/0q0I2u2e1X2x
Perhaps we can use an icon to indicate when an item is a history entry, similarly to how google search history items appear?

Sometimes search suggestions do not have the grey/black type, if the query is not a substring of the suggestion (e.g. you type "facebox" and "facebook" is a suggestion).
I guess my question is, if a history link and a suggestion link both trigger the exact same action, what is the benefit of them looking different?
Wontfixing for now, based on comment 1. We can continue to debate as we polish the UI, if need be.
