Yes. For instance, if i wanted to search for ways to compute a cross product in python, i could just type in "!numpy cross product" and directly search the numpy project page for an answer, without having to first navigate to numpy (I could also search stackexchange by "!sx"). I'm not saying this replaces the features of chrome entirely, but I have found it helpful for my needs. YMMV...
