Comment #3 on issue 615 by [email protected]: Multiple keywords for search engine in omnibar http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=615
@2: In all honesty, searching itself is already somewhat non-discoverable. I didn't know it was possible to use more than the default Google search until I stumbled across a blog post explaining it while I was looking for an extension to enable it... and I'm normally the first person to look in context menus for things. (I was operating on the assumption that keywords would work the way they do in other browsers... "gg: whatever" without pressing Tab) Anyway, how about just making it respond to both the keyword and various subsets of the URL? (eg. wikipedia.org (assuming only one is a search provider), en.wikipedia.org, http://en.wikipedia.org/.*) The alternative would be to allow a comma-separated list of keywords the way Konqueror, Arora, and possibly one or two others do. I ask because I like to use short little two-letter keywords, but there's always the risk I'll forget the ones I use less frequently but I'll remember the domain name. Oh, and it's not very discoverable to have keywords silently fail to work just because they contain certain characters.
