Issue 841: Need '/' keyboard shortcut for initiating search
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=841

Comment #4 by rossc719:
Sounds like the decision has already been made... but.. I'd like to add my  
$0.02.. which is:

I am so used to hitting '/' to search now, that I tap it and immediately  
begin typing by
search term... which is dangerous because the search term may contain one  
or more hot-keys for
the site I am visiting.  (Yes.. happened to me 3x now).   I realize that  
this is just because
I am "used to firefox", but .. so are a lot of people.  (Before chrome, it  
was the best
option.)  I suppose I will eventually get out of the habit of using '/',  
but I'd rather not.
It is faster, and pretty much a standard these days.

And really, I have never seen a site which hijacks '/', except for gmail...  
and you can
disable that... (Yes, I did disable that).
