 Perhaps the problem you are running into is that ATM smart bookmarks
 are magic.  The only thing that signals that a bookmark is smart is the
 precense of "%s" in the address.  I'm guessing you'd be against having
 "Address" and "Smart address" in the bookmark editing dialog (although
 I think you already agreed that this is needed).  In which case a "use
 this bookmark for searches" checkbox is out of the question.  In fact,
 I'd argue agaist the later option since it'd make figuring out _which_
 bookmark is the magic one a PITA.  The other argument against that
 would be that it's not a real checkbox but a multi-dialog spanning
 radiobox which is outspoken hideous.

 Alternative: have a drop-down selection box in the configuration dialog
 which lists all the smart bookmarks.  The user can pick the smart
 bookmakr by name and it's easy to figure out which bookmark is The One.

 Then I misunderstand the way autocompletion works.  To me it seems that
 the first pick is always something that comes out of my bookmarks list.
 Let's see... nope, that's not the case... the bookmark match is
 actually the last, and I just noticed, that feature seems to be
 case-sentitive... repeat with me: eeeeeeeeeewwwwwww! ;-)

 I don't know what you meant by "autocompletion searches" then.
