I completely hide the search field in the toolbar, instead relying on the excellent keyword feature.  "g «search terms»" searches google, "wp «search terms»" goes to the relevant wikipedia article, etc. etc.

Often, I find myself searching for something with a keyword multiple times.  I'll do a search, let a day pass, and then run an identical search the next time.  Usually, when I have already recently navigated to site, I can just start typing its URL, and the location bar will bring up a list of possible completions.  It would be awesome if my recent keyword searches were also in this history list, so that I wouldn't have to type them again each time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a keyword bookmark
2. Use the keyword bookmark in the location bar (for a search, say)
3. Do some surfing
4. Start typing the text used in 2) to use the keyword in the same way (run the same search or whatever)
Actual Results:  
No autocompletion list pops up

Expected Results:  
An autocompletion list, showing previous keyword searches would show up, just as URLs from history do.
