To each his/her own. I prefer Firefox's ctrl-K for the search box. and get frustrated by Chrome's insistence on giving me search results for a domain I type in the address bar after I press ctrl-Enter to automatically asume a dot-com (shift-Enter for .net or ctrl-shift-Enter for .org).

I love Chrome's visual cues for in-page search results. If only they'd implement incremental search like Opera and Firefox (and Vim): '/'+search, instead of the more cumbersome c-F.
