  2. go to omnibar and type the beginning of an unusual string into the omnibar. In my case, XBoneend which does have a recent history entry.
  3. omnibar suggests a bunch of google searches.

Chrome Omnibar failing to find a file in my history

If the terms I type in were common, I would tolerate some google search results. But, if the term is super specific/rare, plus I just visited a page with that exact string the the URL & text of the page 5 minutes before, I would prefer it to show up.

So how can I make the omnibar include super high quality matches from my recent history?

You have to turn off google search suggestions entirely for this to work.

Instructions

Since typing search terms there, and then hitting enter gets you the same result anyway, it's not much of a loss. What you get out of it is the ability to properly, quickly search your own browsing history.

Here are behavior once you've fixed it, showing correct search results.
