Firefox have a search bar for this purpose. Isn't Chrome sending everything you type in the omnibar, including urls and search queries, to Google?

To search for "apples" on Youtube, press Ctrl-E to focus on the search bar, type "apples", click on the Youtube icon or press Ctrl-down/up arrow to choose Youtube, then enter.

Most people don't use search bar these days. Why have two fields when you can use one?

Also - too many actions in your example vs. very simple and effective tab-to-search or keyword search available in Firefox.
