New issue 6794 by pkast...@chromium.org: History URL Provider needs to use  
prefix list when checking for exact matches
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6794

Visit https://internalsite/ successfully once, and type "i", and you'll get
inline-autocompleted to "internalsite/", with the match being to the https
site.  Good.
Now visit internalsite/page several times, and type "internalsit".  You get
inline-autocompleted to "internalsite/page".  But when you type "e", you're
still inline autocompleted.

The reason is because when the History URL provider does the override check
to see if the current input is an exact match, it doesn't use the prefix
list the way we do in the main autocomplete loop.  Since the input is
"internalsite" it doesn't catch the https match.

This can cause users to type an exact location they've been before and yet
have inline autocomplete override (and frustrate) them.
