New URL / address field with history and bookmark search

Hi,

have there been threads complaining about the new address field search (drop down) behavior? (Apart from this one.) I mean the one introduced in build 1090:

* New URL drop down look, with easier to use search suggestions


Don't get me wrong: The automatic history & bookmark search is really sweet, and has obviously made its may into all modern browsers since Opera introduced it. (Way to go, Opera! smile)

But this recent change is just stupid. Example: I have two bookmarks which contain the string "A 39" in the title. Previously, Opera would show me those two when I typed "A 39" into the address bar. No, I don't use that as an alias, it's just intuitive to type that. Anyway, what I get since the recent changes is useless muck:

Indeed, my bookmarks are below, among the "Show 6 more...". But they are much better matches than those random history entries.

Sorry, this has really gotten worse.
