2. Sometimes you have search entries in the autocomplete of the address bar, which are all higher weighted than your recently visited sites. Add a search for your history, so you can get recent results first.

Settings > Search | Manage search engines... and add the following entry at the bottom:

Add a new search engine Keyword URL with %s in place of query
Chrome History h chrome://history-frame/#q=%s

Now typing h + TAB + stack will show a list for sites including stack. Unfortunately the search is a relic of the 20th century, not even wildcards or sorting are supported.
