Smarter Search, a Chrome extension, adds extra functionality to the Chrome omnibar and lets you search multiple search engines right through the omnibar. It works for a lot of popular websites, such as Twitter, Wikipedia, IMDB, YouTube and StackOverflow. Instead of opening new tabs, entering a website URL and then a search term, simply type s in the URL bar, hit the space bar and enter your search query. Smarter Search comes with an autocomplete feature that displays a list of websites in a drop-down menu. Select an option from the list and hit Enter to instantly open results for your query in a new tab. In addition to the auto-complete choices, there are a few other domains that can be searched, such as Amazon, Flickr, eBay and Delicious, using special key combinations along with the default s key.
After installing the extension, type s, press the space bar and enter you search term. You will notice that a drop-down menu populates a list of websites that you can search on. Select an option and hit Enter to view results in a new tab.
Smarter Search is a neat extension that can be quite useful for people who regularly search websites like Wikipedia, IMDB, YouTube and others for various reasons. During our testing, the search feature for extra domains was not functional. The extension provides faster access to the web and can be installed from the link below.
