Perform search query in the Firefox’s address bar

I’m not sure how long has it been there, but when i discover it, I think this is cool. Now, another Chrome’s feature available in Firefox. You can perform any search by just typing anything into your Firefox’s address bar. Remember, the performing search from address bar is using Google by default.  There are 2 ways how it works.

First, it works like Google’s Feeling Lucky. Searching any key phrase will return and open a new website automatically. My search for ‘ezera‘ bring me to ezerasurf.com

Secondly, it works just like normal search. Type any key phrase will return the search result.

I believe this functionality come with Google Toolbar although I don’t see it being introduced on the latest Google Toolbar 5 blog post. It might has been there before, only me that didn’t notice about it.

Have you notice this before?

    It’s been around for quite a while and I use it everyday.

    I’m not really sure when I discovered it but I discovered it accidentally.

    It’s a cool tool isn’t it? I can search anything, anytime from the same place. So COOL!

  5. I never knew it was there, I normally use the google toolbar and get it to replace the firefox search query. I don’t really trust “feeling lucky” so much :)
