Chromium and searching in bookmarks

Hi,

when I tye e.g. "vim" in the address bar in firefox all of my bookmarked sites that contain vim or are tagged with that word are shown in the drop down list.

When I try the same in chromium only three of my bookmarks are shown and I have to open the bookmark manager and manually search for a site.

Is there a way to change this? This is the only thing that stops me from using chromium instead of firefox but for me it's a big issue not to have a quick access  to my bookmarks.

I think the search in chromium works for me as you would like it: it shows which items on the list are my bookmarks, which are the search terms (means I searched for that before) and how many items in my history contain that string.
Are you sure you imported all your bookmarks to chromium?

Edit: Oops, I think I get what you mean now: it shows only three matches from your bookmarks.

Go to Options - Under the hood - Untick "Use a suggestion service ..."
Works for me.

Hm...this doesn't solve it for me...now I sometimes have four instead of three of my entries although there are many more.

I had also five and seven, but I admit I didn't test it much - I've always used bookmark manager as I tend to open groups of bookmarks at a time.
