 But that's not what I mean. Typing 'se' and Ctrl+T gives me both 
'http://seznam.cz', which is ok, but it also gives me 'http://www.suse.cz', 
which is not ok. I simply mean the thing Mozilla or MSIE do. Let me explain:

- (empty history, popup completion)
- I type 'www.suse.cz' once, it goes there and remembers 'http://www.suse.cz'
- I type 'su' and it offers me 'http://www.suse.cz' (it simply tries also to 
find a match with prepending 'http://' and 'http://www.' )
- I type 'seznam.cz', it goes there and remembers 'http://seznam.cz'
- I type 'se' and it offers me 'http://seznam.cz', and only it 
- If it also puts hostname-only URLs first (i.e. not showing all seznam.cz 
URLs in history first, thus hiding the suse.cz ones), it would be Perfect(tm).

 I already tried to implement this, but .. erm, well ... :(.
