Currently, I believe we weight clicks on the new tab page and from typing into the omnibox equally. The ranking code there is pretty arbitrary and could definitely use some love.
See http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/browser/history/visitsegment_database.cc search for ::QuerySegmentUsage. Your mail sounds like you have some ideas but is too vague to take action on. Could you give concrete examples? E.g. "I have a long URL that looks like foobar.com/baz/foo/bar and when I type foo into the omnibox I instead get [x]".
