Might I also add that if you want to use address-bar autocomplete, so what you want really _is_ just a blank new window, you can use Cmd- Tab, which brings up the system-provided application switcher, tab over to Safari, release Cmd and then press Cmd-N. I use that for all my app-switching and the like because it's faster than dealing with QS for such a specialized task. Mostly I use QS for file operations— open, move, rename, delete, open with etc.
