If I highlight the text "XULRunner" for example, all pages called "XULRunner" should be at the top of the list of possible matches, with a dividing line between them and the first item whose name isn't an exact match. This would make it much easier to find and select those exact-matches, which are often the preferred choice.

Instead of a dividing line, what if we bolded the search term like the Firefox awesomebar does? That has the added benefit of drawing your attention to the part that matched.

Dojo's epic FilteringSelect would be perfect for this...

Fairly certain this is working, just tested it.
