The only reason I am using Chrome over Safari is the cool feature Chrome has namely the address bar acts as the search bar as well. Is there a way I can enable this feature in safari as well?
Combine the address bar and the Google search bar in Safari

You can use Safari Omnibar.
From the website:
Features
- Unified location bar with search bar
- Search directly using location bar
- Quickly switch engines using search engine keywords
- Define new search engines
It works on Snow Leopard and Lion.
NB : it requires you to install SIMBL. See the FAQ on the website.
Here are a couple of things to try:
1. Start typing in the Smart Search Field. In the dropdown menu which appears, there should be a Go to Site option.

2. Try Matt Swain's AnySearch Safari Extension.
AnySearch allows you to use any custom search engine you want - not just the three that Safari allows by default. Alternatively, it allows you to disable the search functionality completely, returning to the Safari 5 functionality of only allowing web addresses.

Unless you want the Google-suggestions to appear, too, I think you might be looking for the free (SIMBL) plug-in Keywurl.
