Well, I think that the history icon should match the "item" activated by the user. The user should not have to distinguish between actions or matches. If the user activates the "Launch Text Editor" match with the GEdit icon next to it - that is what I think should appear in the history.

If another icon is shown in the history because the actual default action that was activated had another icon, I say let's fix the action to have the correct icon (the same as the match's icon).

Blah, this is hard to explain :-)

Let me try ;-).

I type in "deskbar", then click on "Search Wikipedia for deskbar", I expect the Wikipedia icon will be in the history list for this item. I type in "shut" and click on "Turn off the computer", I expect the gear icon will be in the history. "Voice" gives me the Voice of the Shuttle website, I expect the favicon from that website will be in the history.

Matches/actions are "under the hood", the *only* intuitive icon for the history list is whatever icon was next to the deskbar search result I clicked on. Perhaps that requires storing the icon in the history rather than looking it up?

Thanks,
