Issue 3633: Need to solve the tab-to-search-expiring bug
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3633

Comment #8 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I did lots of thinking about this last night and this morning.  The right  
fix is
trickier than I thought, but I think possible.

First, we should change the scoring function on the keyword provider to  
score
keywords highly when their frequency (or perhaps frecency?) is high  
(logarithmic
function?).  This should be tuned against the history URL provider's  
function (which
may also need to become more flexible) such that good keywords beat out bad  
inline
autocompletions.

Next, when the controller sees that one of these keywords is the best  
result (and the
keyword UI won't be showing?), it should create a match corresponding to  
what would
happen if the user hit enter on the fill_into_edit text from that match,  
and then
insert it into the result set just above the keyword match.

The result of this is that oft-used keywords, whether they're auto or  
manual, will
propagate to the top of the list, but the user will still get consistent  
behavior if
he happens to hit <enter> instead of <tab>.
