Right Matt, and I've used that feature from Firefox for years!

This was one of the main features in Chromium that I had to discover to be as functional in Chromium as I traditionally have been in Firefox.

Thanks for the tip. You will find though that it will also automatically set certain frequently visited sites to search. I don't know if it does it to all sites I frequent or just a certain set. But after going a few times, when I start to enter the domain Chrome will suggest that I hit tab to search the site and There ya go:)

Wow! I switched to Chrome a while ago and had no idea you could do something like this. I wonder how many other awesome features I am oblivious to. Thanks for this great tip!

I do indeed love Chromium and have switched to it, but I think it's funny that you mention this feature specifically, as it is unfortunately much more awkward to do in Chromium (I find). In Firefox you could just create a bookmark as normal and give it a keyword, but in Chromium you have to go through kind of a tedious flow to get to it, and plenty of keyword bookmarks don't make conceptual sense as "search engines".

Chromium is really developing at a rapid pace though, so I'm looking forward to more bookmark features like keywords and tags perhaps in the future. I love in the recent dailies the new consolidated menu (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/chromiums-unified-menu-great-idea-sucks.html).
