You can directly search using address bar. You can also use keywords to switch search engines.

It would be a great add-on as searching using the address bar in firefox works, but with single word, it didn't as a single word is treated as a URL.

This is a good add-on. I just can't understand why Mozilla did not include this feature in the first place, maybe Chrome spoiled me...

This feature is present in most browser, Chrome did not by any means innovate this feature.

Now with this add-on and the newest beta of Straitform, Firefox will really look like IE9! Thanks for sharing this, Vishal!

Omnibar makes life soo easy... i still cant see why Mozilla cannot put this awesome feature onto their Firefox product by default
