Is there any way to make the Ctrl-K shortcut in Chrome actually do a regular Google search (with the results shown), while still letting the Ctrl-L shortcut do an I'm Feeling Lucky search?

I can't figure out how to make them use different default search engines.

(I'm not looking for a way to assign a keyword to a search engine; I need to change the default behavior.)

isn't Ctrl-L shortcut for the omnibox?. ed: Nev mind, I see what your intentions are. – Sathya♦ Mar 27 '11 at 5:45
I doubt it is possible w/o playing with Chrome sources (I wish I am wrong). Chrome is not as modifiable as Firefox. It's the bad side of double-edged sword. The good side is speed and responsiveness not seen in XUL-based UIs. It's worth to point out too, that Chrome devs favor sane hard-coded decisions over thousands of options. This kind of sanity is not always an objective opinion though, thus even Chrome lovers (i.e. heavy users, like me) aren't always happy with its immutable defaults. – przemoc May 5 '11 at 22:41

You will need to use an extension, as przemoc said, GC is not a modifiable as FF in that way.

Try https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mgjjeipcdnnjhgodgjpfkffcejoljijf. Should work, but some people having an issues with it I believe.
