It's surely welcome :)

the first 2 entries + non selection are somewhat connected. Let me explain with 
an example: the word "ciao" and "localhost". I'll call with 3 numbers the 
entries:
0. nithing selected -> KUrlFilter resolv the word
1. first entry
2. second entry

if you type "ciao", rekonq provides:
0. KUriFilter(ciao)
1. gg:ciao
2. http://ciao

you press ENTER, KUriFilter detects that "ciao" is not an host and search your 
preferred engine for it. And you win, as you explained.
Just let me notice that 0. and 1. coincide here.

if you type "localhost", again rekonq provides:
0. KUriFilter(localhost)
1. gg:localhost
2. http://localhost

You press ENTER, KUriFilter detects that "localhost" is an host and let you 
load http://localhost. You win again. If you wanna search google for 
"localhost", just a down arrow more is needed. 0. and 1. don't coincide here.

So, best solution seems to drop at all 2, entry (the http one, Browse engine).
Or at least alternate it with the Search with one when a dot or something more 
appears.
Let me point out again that just typing and pressing ENTER rekonq easily 
guesses your real needs thanks to KUriFilter job.
So, suggestions are just suggestions. That's the point.

This can easily be implemented.
