It's admittedly a corner case, but I've searched phrases that contain URLs and have had them get treated as a URL rather than search phrase in Chrome. In that case, I just drop to google.com and issue the search from there.
- fournm 13y agoI actually run into this one (or its opposite, a URL getting treated as a search) fairly frequently, which is pretty annoying every time.
- pgeorgi 13y agoctrl-k works as "go to search box" in both browsers. For Chrome, that means focussing on the address bar and presetting it to "? ".
- nirvdrum 13y agoNifty. That would certainly do the trick. Thanks!
- sp332 13y agoIf you prefix your query with a ? it will be sent to your default search provider instead.
- nirvdrum 13y agoThanks for the tip. I was unaware. But of course, if I have to think about it, it's failed its primary function of pretending I shouldn't have to care :-P
