1 They does a similar action
2 They are edited in a similar way (%s right now)
3 They act on the same control

Atm if you select "Google Linux" and then type another word + enter,
"Google Linux" is used (only until you type an url again). I'm not
exactly convinced it's a good idea but ... it's one of the thing people
requested a few times.
In general I intuitively feel some sort of link between the completion
searches and the press enter. Maybe it's just me ;)

If you use the smart bookmarks to feel the drop down, you are actually doing
that integration of the two things I was proposing ...
It sounds reasonable to me.
