As "hip" and "cool" as the omnibar search function is in Google Chrome it isn't functional at all. After using Chrome for weeks I still won't switch from Firefox just because of the time that I'm losing while searching for things. Without a functional second search feature I am losing time when searching for things.
For example: in Firefox or even (gasp) Internet Explorer, when search for information about the movie Batman Begins I would simply open up my browser, go to the right search box, select IMDB, search for "Batman Begins", then be directly taken to that movie page. Also in Firefox I could simply go to the address bar and type in "Batman Begins IMDB" and it takes me DIRECTLY to the IMDB Batman Begins page. In Chrome however, I type in "Batman Begins" or even "Batman Begins IMDB" and I am still taken to a google search page. As Im sure this helps google ad revenue and number of hits. It is losing functionality for us, the developing community. If anyone help develop the wonderful chrome omnibar or think that it needs a change please respond. -- Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss
