I am thinking about switching my web browser to Google Chrome on my ASUS EEE because it has better screen usage but I really do like a lot of the handy things Opera provide.
In particular, I especially like custom search keywords that let me search on various sites in the address-bar by using keywords. For example g something would search for something at Google, while w something would search at Wikipedia and k something would search at Wiktionary.
After having used this for years I find it very annoying when I have to actually visit the sites to do the search…
Does anything similar to this exist in Chrome?

Options - Basics - Default search - Manage. This opens a dialog box that allows you to set keywords for each of your search providers. For example, I use "g" for Google, "y" for YouTube, and "z" for Amazon.
These are the same search providers that do the "Pres TAB to search..." function. As you browse the web, Chrome adds websites with search boxes here so you can use them from the address bar. You can use them either by pressing tab, or by setting up keywords.
