Before switching to Chrome, I always used Firefox, and I always really liked how you could type into the address bar and it would search (a fuzzy search!) for pages that were in the history that matched.
In Chrome, the "results" are just a bunch of search suggestions from Google that I really don't care about (if I want to use a search engine, I'll just go to Google). Is there any way to get Firefox-like address bar searching in Chrome?
For me in Chrome, I get a mix of suggestions and history by default. – Paused until further notice. – 2010-11-20T16:39:24.537
This is what I want to avoid. I don't want suggestions, just history. And a better searcher for the history at that. – JustcallmeDrago – 2010-11-24T19:09:29.557
2That's annoying me to death. I really like firefox' address bar, and I really hate chrome ones :( You need to wait several seconds until the address dropdown box shows some history URLs. – Johannes Schaub - litb – 2011-01-22T00:28:51.157
I love how Opera already did this for AGES :P. Using the address bar searches the history, bookmarks, notes, etc, but not the search suggestions... This is done with the search bar next to it... – sinni800 – 2012-02-07T08:14:37.267

In addition to searching in the history, I would also like Chrome to search among its already opened tabs, like Firefox.
