<p>Looking at Google Chrome features that could be ported to Firefox with an add-on, one of the most obvious additions many people wanted to see was Google Chrome’s Omnibar.&#160; It mixes both the search box and address bar into one browser feature.&#160; </p>
<p>The simply named <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8823">Omnibar</a> extension gets the job done, and adds a few new features where Google let us down in Chrome.&#160; First, the most obvious feature (as pictured above) it gives you all the features of the search box in your address bar.&#160; The problem, and thing they can not duplicate yet – is showing search results in the Omnibar for Firefox.</p>
<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8823">Omnibar</a> does support&#160; searching multiple search engines for same query in one go.&#160; All you need to do is use this type of setup:</p>
<p>A general search query is:   <br /><em>@engine1,engine2 your search query</em></p>
<p>or,if you prefer to give engine name at the end:   <br /><em>your search query@engine1,engine2</em></p>
<p>Might not be perfect yet, but it does show a lot of promise.&#160; If you have suggestions for it, check out <a href="http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&amp;t=856745">this thread</a> about it, and if you want to give Omnibar a shot – <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8823">download it</a> on the Firefox Add-ons web site. </p>
