Actually it looks like URLs do go to google's suggestion service as you type into Chrome's URL box.

I tried typing "http://then and it suggested a UPS package URL and "thenicestplaceontheinter.net". I've not been to either of those pages before (I use Chrome for testing, so I'm not signed into it, etc).

I can tell you assertively that, if you capture packets while using Google Chrome's address bar for URLs, it does not send the data to Google.
