I typed net - for network - and got a suggestion for planet of the apes :) I think I typed that in IMDb or some other search engine at some point.
IMO we should only autocomplete pref names (and maybe values)

Thanks, maybe you typed this in another browser window field at some point in the past.

Probably, using a more unique ID for the search field will prevent this from happening again. This page, like the old one, doesn't use a form submit, and I believe new autocomplete results cannot be collected from this page.

I just attached part 1 to this bug since I was planning to do this refactoring anyways.
