bookmarks shouldn't just be stored links. they should be things the browser "just knows about".

it would be a useful enhancement for bookmarked addresses to always appear in the address bar's type-ahead list. it is often quicker to use the type-ahead feature than to use a mouse and navigate through saved bookmarks in the menu.

i keep a relatively short term history on one of my computers because lots of people use it. this means that the type-ahead list generally doesn't have what i want, so even though i have a bookmark for the page i end up typing the whole url.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a bookmark "http://www.xerdo.com/"
2. type "xer" in address bar
Actual Results:  
http://www.xerdo.com/ does not appear in the type-ahead list

Expected Results:  
http://www.xerdo.com/ appears in the type-ahead list
