 Yes, I have that.  Perhaps I'm not making myself clear:

 I have several bookmarks for different boost pages.  I type "boost" in
 the location bar, and I see:

   +--------------------------------+
   |boost <- this is the location bar
   +--------------------------------+
   |http://www.boost.org/           |
   |http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/... |
   |http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/... |
   |...                             |
   |boost wiki <- this is a normal bookmark
   +--------------------------------+
   |Google <- these are smart bookmarks
   |Google Linux                    |
   |...                             |
   +--------------------------------+

 so, I still fail to see how the default keyword search engine has
 anything to do with this.  If I just press enter, "boost" will be
 searched for using the default keyword search engine.

 Rewinding: this is not something the user will be changing every five
 minutes, on the contrary, the setting is more or less permanent.  What
 speaks against making this configurable via "edit -> preferences"?  I
 already suggested an option for keeping the user away from the horrors
 of having to type an URL.  It has the nice side effect that including
 "Search the web" and "I'm feeling lucky, Google" in the default
 bookmarks automagically creates the appropiate selections in the
 drop down menu.


 Marcelo,
 wishing the stupid "i'm feeling lucky" button didn't exist in the first
 place, as this discussion wouldn't have come into existance.
