New issue 6905 by [email protected]: HistoryAutocomplete should score  
typed versus untyped exact matches differently
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6905

If I have visited a link to a URL like "b" which, when typed, would look
like an UNKNOWN input type, but I've never _typed_ that URL, then what
happens when the user types this and presses enter depends on whether the
popup is open and how fast they press enter.  That's because the untyped
result comes back asynchronously but is scored higher than the
synchronously available Google search result for this text.

After some thought, I think making the scoring like:
exact (typed) > Google > exact (untyped)
...fixes this case and works best.  The only other option is to force
autocomplete to always run to the point where all asynchronous results
which could return a higher score than the best synchronous result have
completed.  I don't even know how to accomplish that, and it would
certainly be slow.
