How do you specify keywords in Chrome's Bookmarks editor? They're not in bookmarks. Since these are "search engines" (for a very loose definition of "engine"), they're managed through the Search Engine management dialog. Right-click the omnibox or use the button in the first Options page. You can add or modify the keywords for any engine. You can then type the keyword and either space or tab, followed by your desired search string, in the address bar. One at-first-confusing note is that the built-in and autodetected engines have keywords matching the site's hostname. The reason for this is that we can detect when you've been inline-autocompleted to an engine's keyword, and offer to let you search the site. So starting to type "you" might inline-autocomplete to "youtube.com", which might also be the keyword for Youtube's site-specific search engine; this prompts the "Press tab to search Youtube" UI hint at the Omnibox' right edge, and allows you to get the benefits of short keywords without explicitly specifying them and without having to type exactly the right number of characters to trigger them.
