i hate how i know exactly what i want to type, and i type it quickly, and i press enter to search. chrome searches something else, because it used autocomplete.

i think it's stupid that i have to use a backspace to search what i typed.

in this case, i tried to use the address bar to search "presidential pens," but it went to "presidential pension."

I hate it too. Almost as much as I hate how it doesn't show "http://" in the address bar but when you copy and paste the address it's there!

Can't you disable these things in the settings?

I guess you can disable "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar". Couldn't find anything about the "http://" thing though.

i wish i could press a key to use the autocomplete, rather than pressing backspace to not use it.

i'd like to use it, just not as often as i'd like to use what i type.
