With the new combined address/search bar in Safari 6, I'm wondering if there's a way to quickly choose an option from the Bookmarks & History suggestions using the keyboard. Or some way to have bookmarks titles match as Top Hits the way URLs seem to.

In old versions you could quickly access a bookmark by typing the first few letters of it's name, hitting down and enter. But in Safari 6, you have to skip over 5 Google suggestions first, or just click with the mouse, neither of which is terribly efficient.

I suspect this is a quixotic request, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Not a real solution, but a little faster then pure down. You can jump over the different sections with command-down.

  • Thanks, that's close enough. I tried some different key combinations, but somehow I guess I missed that one. Go figure. Still not happy with the pattern matching decisions Apple made, but this is better than nothing.

You can remove the suggested keywords by checking "Prevent search engine from providing suggestions" in the privacy preferences. There will still be a single action for searching for the text on the location bar, but that's actually useful in a lot of cases.

And if you're used to searching in history and bookmarks, it's much better than this:
