I'll use this page as reference for omnibox - http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ans... .

Opera has custom inline searches. I type in the address bar "eng cacophony" and I am being redirected here www.thefreedictionary.com/cacophony . "w Opera browser features" takes me to the wikipedia page. I can define how many custom keywords as I please. Again, long before Chrome existed.

I could do this in the year 2000.




Firefox did that too. It's very nice but not quite the same as Omnibox. Also, it's a bit of a superuser feature IMO, with Omnibox being more accessible.
