[...] Using Google Chrome makes me feel like I just upgraded my DSL connection. Doing my regular heavy day use on various sites, I can’t recall any issue so far regarding site support. Also, as I imported the Firefox bookmark, I realized Google Chrome takes an extra mile in identifying your Bookmark Keywords. [...]

I only saw it say six months before, and didn’t care to try it. I then forgot what the feature is called and couldn’t find it until maybe 2 months back :)

I posted about this cool firefox feature on my old blog, but back then, you couldn’t right-click on search fields; it was done manually.

You could if you only use a handful of plugins, or if you will have problems memorizing the keywords. This solution is more suitable to the people who are used to keyboard and shortcuts. If you use too many search plugins, the long drop down list will not be friendly at all as well.

Let’s look at it from the number of clicks. Say we have 5 search plugins. If most of the time you will use the first search plugin, then memorizing a keyword for that search plugin would be almost the same. If we say you use all plugins randomly, then that comes to using 3rd plugin in the list on average.

Plugin:
1- Click on Drop Down List of search plugins Or Ctrl+E
2- Move to third plugin with mouse Or twice Ctrl+Dwn key
3- Search query and Enter

Keyword:
1- Ctrl+L (since most keyword users are shortcut users) or mouse over address bar
2- and Enter

Go beyond the 5 plugins and use them randomly, you will see that mastering keywords is much much faster you will forget about plugins.
