Very well stated and a fine idea. Having Google invest some of it's own search technology into Chromes history process would make Chrome a very unique and highly usable browser indeed. I'll add my vote for this one.
Also, speaking of Google's search technology, there is a minor but very necessary feature I'd like to see added to Chrome's/Chromium's History page and that's the ability to delete history items individually and not just by the day. It's also a feature that the other main stream browsers have had for quite awhile now.
