Google Chrome vs. Safari

So I've tried both of these browsers and I like Chrome more in almost every aspect except one. Because of this aspect, I continue to use Safari. So maybe someone here can help me.

I don't know if this is the official name of the feature but it seems logical to me. Autocomplete or autofill.

Basically, when I am typing a URL in Safari, if the URL is in my bookmarks or history it will complete the rest of the address for me and all I have to do is hit enter. For example, I have facebook.com in my favorites. I type "fa" and safari fills in the rest, I just hit enter and I'm there.

From what I can tell, Chrome does not support this feature on its Mac client. Please tell me I'm wrong about this! Does Chrome have this feature?
 
All you do is type a few letters then enter? If that is so, I don't know why it won't work for me!
 
For example, if I type in mac, it shows MacRumors.com. Try deleting all the browser files (Chrome>Clear Browsing Data) and see if it will work.
 
Man, maybe someone knows what I gotta do so this will work for me. It's really bothering me that I can't figure this out.
 
I've already tried that, I'm thinking there must be some kind of option I'm overlooking. I've looked through preferences and haven't found anything though.
