Chrome: automatically redirect me to highest ranking search result, like Firefox does

Question

How to emulate the Firefox (I'm using v3.6) address bar search redirection in Google Chrome?

For example, if I type...

imdb moon

...to the address bar and press Return in Firefox then it redirects me straight to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/ (and I've not visited the page before)

When I try this is Chrome then I just get the google search page http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=imdb+moon

So seems like Firefox redirects automatically to the highest ranking search result URL - is there a setting or add-on for Chrome to achieve the same behaviour?
