I've found that, as a starter to Chrome, the auto-complete on the omnibar can sometimes confuse. If I type "imdb ba" and select "imdb batman", it does a search for imdb batman on google. If I type it all manually and press enter it searches for batman on imdb.
I can see why the two actions are different, but it has led me in the wrong direction in the past... (I've changed the keyword for imdb to be just imdb) On Dec 17, 9:25 pm, Farmer Farmer <[email protected]> wrote: > What you need is to go to the Help center for Chrome and learn how to > search from the magic OmniBox:http://www.google.com/support/chrome/. > > On Dec 11, 11:35 am, Isaiah Cisneroz <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > > As "hip" and "cool" as the omnibar search function is in Google Chrome > > it isn't functional at all.
