How To Search Google In Google Chrome's Omnibar

Searching Google In Google Chrome's Omnibar

You can search almost all of Google's products and apps in the Google Chrome Omnibox (address bar). All of the apps require you to be logged into your Google Account with cookies enabled for the search to work.

To use these right-click the Omnibar and click on "Edit search engines". In there click on the "Add" button. Use the info below to add each search to Chrome.

Let's say Google Web Search is your default search engine. Using keywords,like the ones below, allow you to bypass your default search so you can easily search other search engines. Let's say you want to search "Google Docs" for "meeting". Type this into the omnibar "docs meeting". The keyword "docs" tells Chrome which search engine to use. Leave a space between the keyword and the search terms. If you want to search your default search engine don't use a keyword. Chrome already knows what it is.

I didn't include the individual Help Forums since there are so many of them. If you want them you'll have to dig them out on your own. Here they all are http://goo.gl/7Ma0 I also didn't include Google's Language Tool since they are ever-changing. New languages are being added all the time and I didn't want to have to update this list forever. I might have missed a few other things but this will get you started.
