OK, at first I really loved Safari's predictive type-ahead. I hardly ever use bookmarks so I generally rely on what's in my history. I had gotten used to typing a couple letters of the domain I wanted then hitting tab to get to the right address on other browsers. Then with Safari I got used to just typing the letters and hitting enter..

But then I went on vacation and didn't use my Powerbook for about a week and when I came back the type ahead was all screwed up. Now it predicts things completely wrong and I can't even revert back to my habit of tabbing through the list as that just starts moving to other links on the loaded page.

Anyway, does anyone know how Safari figures out what your 'preferred" URLs are and how to fix it when it's off?
