Not seen this Chrome trick before.

One feature that I like about FF that IE doesn't provide and haven't tried in Chrome yet is that if you drag a non-clickable link in the page to the toolbar or to a new tab it will open that page.

In Chrome, it you drag it to the tabs or address bar it opens it, if your drag it to the bookmarks bar it creates a new bookmark.

I also forgot to mention that if you drag any text to the address bar or new tab it will automatically do a search for you. Glad to hear Chrome has that also. I haven't messed with Chrome a lot, the fact that it wants to sync to everything is really throwing me off. I'm sure that you can run it without syncing but that just pissed me off first thing.

I actually find that quite handy: it means if I add a bookmark on my desktop, I can use it on my tablet later on, and vice versa.

That would be OK except with everything that's happening right now, NSA tracking, etc.. In fact I believe they have been tracking me for some time and am worried that they are out to get us all through social sites. They are after my bacon and I will defend it to my last breath. :)

Go to the address / search bar. Start typing "CodeProject.com" As soon as it brings the site name up for you, press TAB. Type in something to search for, and it uses CP to search the articles...nice!
I think this only works if you have auto-suggestion enabled. /ravi

I hypothesize that what you may be seeing is not actually a Chrome feature ... but an artifact of the tab-order of the Controls on the CodeProject page. Type in 'bbc.co.uk' and then hit tab and watch what happens.
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts. Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

I don't think so - the behavior is very different: when I type CodeProject.com and press tab, the address bar changes to "Search The Code Project:" and whatever you type after that uses the CP search on Articles. BBC doesn't do that at all. I suspect it is the Hamsters being clever little rodents, and talking nice to Google's Web crawlers. If so, then "Well done Chris and co!"

You gotta defend the important stuff first. Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness come second and third to "No Muthaelephanta is getting near my bacon"

Exactly you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands, might wanna nuke it before you eat it though. :)

Hi OG, My point was that it was not a "Chrome trick," but a result of CodeProject's own page structure. Hence the counter-example of the BBC site to give weight to the idea that the behavior had nothing to do with Chrome per se. On my machine ... Win 8/64 ... in Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m ... typing in 'codeproject' in the Chrome address bar loads the site, and one tab keypress puts focus into CP's global search text-edit box, which causes the drop-down to drop. I agree that Hamsters deserve all glory :) yours, Bill

This feature has been in Chrome for a long time now. In fact, it automatically "learns" sites that you do searches on and saves them as search engine entries. You can create your own entries or modify existing ones by going into Settings > Manage Search Engines. For example, instead of having to type "CodeProject.com" and then tab to type your keyword, you could change the "Search Engine Keyword" to "CP" and then you could just type CP and then tab (btw it also works with just pressing space instead of tab) This is actually one of my most used features in Chrome and I love it :)

In Chrome it's way easier. Just select the text and right click it. If it's a link you can open it (opens in a new tab) or if it's just a word you can search for that word.

I use that all the time - but this selects the site and does a search there, rather than a "generic" Google.

This is a really really old feature, from the earliest versions of Chrome, it works for all sorts of sites which have integrated search, such as Wikipedia, CodeProject, even Facebook! It's one of the reasons I like this browser so much :)
It's the result of Code Project having Open Search enabled on the site. Chrome implements this feature based on the site owner adding it. BTW, it also works in any browser that supports Open Search, like IE7+ and FF2+. You can see the XML file required to set it up here: http://www.codeproject.com/info/OpenSearch.xml[^]. It's implemented by adding a line to the
headelement in the page:So basically, kudos to Code Project for implementing it, and don't be afraid to put it into use in your own site! There's a full list of providers that support it and instructions on how to set it up yourself at http://www.opensearch.org/Home[^].
