"is it possible to give Google search priority over Locate, or will Synapse learn the one that is the most relevant to me?"

This! If I use Synapse to do a Google search eighty percent of the time, why should I have to scroll all the way to the right end and select Google Web Search from a list of searches every single time? the behavior in Synapse is a bit confusing to me in general, so bear with me here. What I would like to see is the following:

If Synapse recognizes the format of your query it would show the relevant action, obviously. But if there are multiple possible actions the most commonly selected one is the default and then you just hit the down key to go to the next most commonly selected. In the default case (in our theoretical switch statement) where no specific action is matched, any catch-all actions will be listed, like OpenSearch options, locate, run command, in the order of how commonly they're used.

Am I crazy? Also, I'm gonna take a look at the code and see if I can contribute in any meaningful way. I obviously still don't even completely understand the behavior, but I'll go through the code later.
