Spotlight's "Show All" Getting in the Way

[Marble]

Is there a way to make it so after entering a search word into the Spotlight bar, the "Top Hit" will be selected by the first hit of the return key? I hate having to hit the down arrow once when I know Spotlight is going to find exactly what I'm looking for just to get the result and not the expanded window. It's equally irritating to use the mouse.

as far as im aware the answer is simply no! you can change the order of the the results though in the system preferences though.

Thanks a lot. It's still an extra step, but it's way better than using the mouse.
