It's easy to perform a basic internet search in the omnibox. Just type your query into the address bar and press Enter.

But what you may not have known is that you can also search for a word or phrase on a specific website.

Type the name of a website in the address bar and press the Tab key. The address bar will change into a search box for the website. Whatever you type after the website name will be searched on that website and you will be taken directly to the site in order to view the search results.

Note that this only works on sites that have registered with Google to work with the omnibox, but you can always add a website you want to search. Just open a new Chrome browser tab, right-click inside the omnibox and select Edit Search Engines to see a list of sites you can search or to add a new one.

Perform Quick Lookups

Another way to use the omnibox in Chrome is to use it as a reference tool. For instance, highlight a word from a webpage you are reading and drag it to the omnibox. Press Enter Download google chrome apk for android 4 0. and the definition of the term will be the first result.

You can also use it for math and conversions. For example, type 'convert 4 tb to tsp' and the answer 12 US teaspoons appears under the omnibox. Or enter a math equation in the omnibox and the answer will appear without requiring you to leave the page you're on.

There is much more you can accomplish using the Chrome omnibox, including the following:

• Set a timer. Type timer (or tm) and a time into the omnibox.
• Get weather for any location by typing weather and ZIP code or city.
• Translate a word or phrase by typing translate and then the word or phrase.
• Get directions by typing map and location 1 to location 2.

Use the Google Chrome omnibox to get all the information you need without even going to Google!

How To Use Google Chrome Browser

Skype for Web (beta) is now available to try without an invite, providing you're in the US or the UK that is.

The browser-based version of Skype allows users to make voice and video calls without needing to install the main Skype desktop app. It works in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome on Windows or Safari on Mac OS X.

But the WebRTC plugin that handles the VoIP side of things is not yet available for Chrome OS or Linux.

It's not all bad though; Skype's instant messaging feature should (at some point) work on a Chromebook as it doesn't require a plugin to function.

So why web and why now? Microsoft say they're doing it 'because the hundreds of millions of people […] told us they want to call and IM when they visit our website.'

'We know how critical it is for you to get to your conversations — and Skype for Web helps you get connected anytime.'

How to Try Skype Web in Google Chrome

To try Skype for Web beta right now, in Chrome you need to be either the US or UK and have (or be willing to sign up for) a Skype account.

Then just dart over to web.skype.com in a new tab and sign in with your Skype login. Quick-ity-boo, you'll be ready to send and receive instant messages with your Skype buddies.

To make a voice or video call you will need to install a plugin (you'll be prompted to do this after signing in) but, as mentioned earlier, the plugin is only available for Windows and Mac OS X users.

Microsoft has also uploaded a ‘Skype Calling' extension to the Chrome Web Store and will, on Windows, ask you to install it. It's not instantly clear what this add-ons does but its permissions set implies it does more than let you click phone numbers online.

Let us know what you think

I'm not a heavy Skype user so I can't attest to the quality of calls and video versus the standard desktop app. It works, which given the beta tag is pretty much all to be expected for now.

The service is available from today in the US and UK. Access for other countries is to roll out over the coming weeks.

If you try it out let us know what you think.
