@Pontoark: You just have to right-click the address bar, go to 'Edit search engines.' , select a Search you want to edit, and then click the 'Edit' button. Once there, change the 'Keyword' to something you like. For example, say I have a search engine for Dictionary.com - I would change the keyword from ' to just 'd'.

You need to apply three solutions(A,B and C) at the same time, as its a crazy malware rooted deep into the chrome and system, So lets just start fixing it ———————————————————————————————- #1 >Solution A: 1. Click on the Chrome Menu on the browse.

So when I wanna look-up a word, I just type 'd' into the address bar, press space, and then enter a word I wanna know. Just do that with a few search engines you like, and you should be good.

Using single-letter keywords is counter-intuitive and difficult to remember--I have 23 boxes in Firefox with very different things that I use: Fedex, UPS and USPS where I enter tracking numbers, Snopes, Dictionary and a Thesaurus, both Google and Bing images, maps, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes--the list goes on and each has its name and icon which makes it easy and fast. Warmsun 19:50. I've gone back to firefox, come to Chrome when I need to open a browser fast, but I want my google toolbar with the keywords I entered clickable to find stuff in the pages I go to. I want search to open in a new tab.

I do NOT want to muck up the address bar of the page I'm on; I'm usually looking for reference info related to that page, or multitasking / get interrupted but want to keep that page open. I keep hoping. When are they going to give us the option to have our google toolbar over here? I'm considering switching to Chrome after something like six years of unflinching FF support. One thing that's really holding me back is the lack of search box. Here's why: I do tons of searching.

Often I have to do a series of searches until I find the right results. The FF search box is a space that's dedicated to saving my last query, letting me make changes quickly. For example lets say I'm doing a research on green panda bears. In firefox my key sequence would be: (alt + d) + TAB + 'green panda bears' + ENTER (looks around, don't find anything useful (alt + d) + TAB + (right arrow) + ' in south america' + ENTER (this now searches for 'green panda bears in south america') And on and on and on. This might seem silly or a corner case or whatever, but for me and probably many others it isn't. If I'm doing searches on my router I don't want to type 'netgear WNDR3300' each time -- I want my most recent query to stay in the search box.

Basically internet searches are important enough to get their own (small) dedicated space in the browser, and it'd be nice if someone could make an extension for Chrome so this was possible. Padders 04:00. 'The main drawback for me is that I use the separate search box as a sort of notepad that I can view no matter what tab I am on and when I have all of the available search terms ready to go from the information I've been collecting from several tabs I can finally begin my search.

Download Toshiba Satellite L20 Drivers. ' Exactly what I use it for, I often don't even run the search from that box, I just use it as a notepad that is modal between windows and tabs. I am going to have to keep using Chrome at least for a while.the instability of Firefox was about to cause me to have a stroke. But it really irks me they can't make this an optional feature you could turn on if desired.it's pure intransigence on chrome's part. The programming would be the work of a moment. It seems like user interface design is more and more geared to making things ultra-simple, as though we all have cognitive disorders or something.

As though two boxes up there would hopelessly confuse people and cause them to fall to the floor writhing in existential angst. In fact it's just a stupid fad and not a form of 'progress' based on anything like reason or science.

Hopefully it will pass in a couple years, but I guess in the meantime we have to put up with it. Onion's 'Apple Wheel' parody was supremely prescient. Selwoc 10:16. 'Google is paying Mozilla so that they can protect themselves from an antitrust lawsuit.'

But Google also gains from having themselves as default in Firefox. The question is whether there's still a net benefit to Google from maintaining this relationship? 'Firefox is hemorrhagic at losing users so Google must be doing something right in Chrome.' Yes, many like its features overall. Plus Google does have much greater marketing muscle. 'What I don't get is why you guys don't just use Firefox instead of Chrome?' Many like to use more than one browser.

As it happens, I do use Firefox in preference to Chrome. One reason is precisely this issue. I suspect that Chrome won't change from the omnibox approach. Most of its users like it, but there's no harm in asking for another option.

Toadpipe 12:15. To those who point out that the Omnibar and Chrome are gaining popularity as opposed to separate search field and Firefox remember this: Chrome is the browser used on the Android OS, on a phone's tiny screen with no keyboard the Omnibar is easier to use. Google has tailored their browser for their OS.

It's gaining in use because there are many many more Android devices now than even last year. On a phone it's great, on the desktop it's feature lacking.

Google cares about the phones not the desktop, hence why Android doesn't run on regular computers. Just use Firefox. Fawildchild 02:19. I know your question is from 09, but replying to it is the only method i could see to add my voice to this page. Yes, for god sake i agree, i don't know what pill they are on.

Separate box is so awesome, when i search something, it gives me a long awesome list of 10 suggestion, many times i have discovered something new and nice because of it. May be the 4th or 5th suggestion was related but in a different way. I don't want to see suggested websites popping up in between and two suggested search phrases.

It's useless, messy and idiotic. Won't use chrome until they give user the option to have it. AkiraFactor 02:49.

Here are instructions for the steps I used to create a seperate search bar with the same search plugins as Firefox. First import your search engines from Firefox using Google instructions: Close any other browsers that are open.

Open Google Chrome. Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar. Select Bookmarks. Click Import bookmark and settings. In the 'Import bookmarks and settings' dialog that appears, select the application that contains the settings you'd like to import.(such as search engines) Click Import. Ok, now install an extension called 'Search Box' which will give to a seperate search box when you hit the search icon in the toolbar, also let's you switch search engines by clicking their icons above the search box.

Now you add all your Firefox search engines by opening Chrome/Chromium settings and hit the manage search engines button. Now you should see a list of search engines by name and URL. Now click the Search Box icon and click manage search engines at the bottom of the Search Box. Now add your search engines by cut and pasting the URL's and labeling them from the Chrome manage search engines list to the Search Box manage search engines list. Fantastic, from now on you can select and search any of your old Firefox search engines from Search Box.

Enjoy AkiraFactor 03:12.
