Latest Build of Google Chrome Supports Site Specific Search

One of the nicest features of Google Chrome is the single input field for entering URLs or search queries. One of the nicest features of Firefox is that you can search on different sites (search engines or apps) in their search engine input field. I’ve always wanted that feature on Chrome, but the single input field has prohibited that from being possible. That is, until now.

The Google Chrome team has found a way to provide similar functionality to Firefox, while adhering to their minimalist design. In the latest nightly build of Chrome for Mac, they’ve introduced a new feature that makes it easy to search other sites, including Facebook. If Chrome supports the website’s search functionality, it will display a “Press Tab to search domain.com” on the right side of the Location input field.

After you press the Tab key, you can enter your keywords. In this example I’m searching for “raven tools” on Facebook.

I’ve made a video of this functionality to show you exactly how it works.
