Let me preface this by saying there's tons of solutions out there for deleting items from your search history from showing up in the Chrome omnibar. That's NOT what I'm asking for.

When I type in the omnibar it will display matches in three categories; bookmarks (denoted with a star icon), items from your history (denoted with a page icon), and search "suggestions" (denoted with a magnifying glass icon).

I was hoping there was a way to ban certain "suggestions" from showing up.

For example, I use a tool at work that I call "lens", which I have bookmarked. When I type "lens" into the omnibar, the first result is always a "suggestion" for "lenscrafters", while my bookmark is farther down the list. I don't wear glasses and will never have a reason to select "lenscrafters" from the list. Can I prevent this (or any other suggestion) from showing up, without turning off suggestions entirely?

I believe this is default, universal behavior, but my current environment is: Chrome 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit) Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit

Based on the answers I've found so far, and this comment, this is probably not possible. It's also a very pedantic request, so I'm "closing" it with this answer.
