At the top in the address bar when you start filling in a previous address it will start to auto fill the address. How can I remove some of them selectively ? As example

Digg.com

if I start typeing in digg.com it will show me a list of previously viewed stories But what is bother some is that after a while digg.com does not show up at the top of the stack instead digg.com/programming/AJAX_Dictionary shows up and others . I what to get Just digg.com at the top same goes for apple.com I have appleinsider.com or even misspellings of apple like appple and such..

I am not trying to erase my history or of of that cloacking stuff I just want to control what starts at the top of the stack..

Problem is, you'd have to delete the entries from your history to get rid of them in auto-completion. Safari's auto-completion list = history.

Still, Safari's implementation sucks IMHO:
• Why doesn't it always suggest the most recent item?
• Why do you have to start with the server's ane for an item to appear, for example if I want server.com/list.html and I enter 'list.html' or just 'list' I get nothing; I'd have to enter 'server' or 'server.com' for the entry to show up.

Imagine the list you'd get if you type 'index'.

I'd rather keyword/bookmark title matches than anything else.

Yeah, Safari's address completion is really hyperaggressive. Aside from selectively zapping your history, I don't reckon you can fix it.
