I've recently switched from Firefox to Chrome, and the thing I miss most from Firefox is the "Awesome Bar" that suggests completions for what I type primarily based on page titles, and then secondarily based on domain names.
Chrome offers both matching URLs and titles, just like like Firefox, but Chrome seems to always prefer a matching domain name over a matching page title or a match to another part of the URL (besides the domain), no matter how many times I pass over the former for the latter.
In fact, Chrome also prefers to suggest a search rather than matching anything other than a domain name.
So is there any hidden preference I can change to tell Chrome that I care more about page titles than domain names?
Example: I want to go to Google Reader, so I press Control+L and begin typing "reader". The URL for google reader is http://www.google.com/reader/view/#overview-page, so the domain name is www.google.com, which does not contain the word "reader". So the first option that Chrome suggests is either another site that has "reader" as part of the domain, or a search for "reader" with the default search engine. No matter how many times I scroll down and select Google Reader, Chrome never "learns" that that's what I want.

There's no explicit way to do this in Chrome. At some point I did notice a menu in about:flags that allowed you to configure the behavior of instant (if you use instant from your omnibar) to act a little differently, but that seems to have gone away in more recent updates (I use the developer release on OS X).
