It's actually not. When typing in either the keyword box or the URL box, it shows similar previous searches in a dropdown. The URL box's method is superior:
For suggestions, the keyword box does a "StartsWith" query against your previous searches. The URL box does a "Contains" query.
The keyword box has a delay between when you stop typing and when previous searches are displayed. The URL box does not.
