I like the idea personally, specifically the one where it disables the
nonmatching items. First I liked the one that removed them better as
it saves the extra navigating around, but then I noticed that
navigating via the keyboard skips over disabled entries automatically
=), and remembering where things actually are is a good point too.
I'm assuming/hoping the plan for keyboard navigation is something
where you use up/down to move in/out of it just like normal menu
entries, and left/right navigates the text while it's selected (but
otherwise does normal menu things)? Also, it'd be convenient if
pressing 'enter' would automatically open the first result, a la
amaroK...
