How do I teach Chrome's omnibar to search in Google Maps?

Question

It seems that the only site on the web that is unavailable for search via Chrome's omnibar is Google's own Maps. Is there any way I could teach the omnibar to search Google Maps?

Answer 1

You'll have to add a custom search engine. Click on Chrome Menu → Options → Basics → Manage Search Engines. Under Add other search engine, add the following:

• Name: Maps
• keyword: mp
• URL: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=%s

Now, type mp followed by the keyword will search for the keyword in Google Maps.
