Just FYI, I personally find the Firefox substring thing confusing. The
current (KDE3) Konqueror location bar allows me to select between several
completion methods, and that's very cool. You could add substring
completion to such a list, so that I could disable it. I always use
the "Dropdown list & Automatic" option whereever possible.
