For me the experience fall apart at the "press the down arrow" part. I took a screenshot of a typical google search session [1] with the search suggestion appearing below the system's native dropdown. For any field where I use the IME, it's the IME that wins, and the dropdown in the background is just distraction [2]. This is the easiest case to reproduce on a blank site, but it's the same for search box where I have autocomplete values (which is a more common problem I think ?); the autocomplete popup will take precedence on any element displayed in reaction to the keyboard, and a "press down arrow" will go to the autocomplete, and not the site's dynamic dropdown.
