To search your history, just enter something into the address bar (wich also displays a search icon and "Search or enter address" if you've opened a new tab).

OK but I mean "Search the history list".

Otherwise the user thinks (maybe partially correctly) that
he is seeing all kinds of Google etc. auto-hints/completions and who
knows what else junk browsers prompt you with these days in that box.

So although he probably will still find what he is looking for, it would be best for there in the history list
to be available a search button.

the address bar also isn't sorted by date which can be quite useful
