Well, I first looked in the right-click menu off the omnibox, because I personally use search keywords frequently. :)
But then when Matt_2 asked me how he would've found this, I clicked around in the Options dialog until I found it. I had remembered that search keywords were related to search engines so seeing "Google" in the select box made me guess the button next to it did something. I think the heading "Default search:" makes me think that the button to the right manages what my default search does. If the button were labeled "Manage search keywords..." it would've been obvious to me, I think, though that's probably too long for what it does.
