If you type a word into the address box, it tries to look it up in DNS. If you put a word in the search bar, it goes straight to search.

You can type a ? before the one word in the url bar to go straight to search

I created keyword search bookmarks for all my frequently used search engines.
For example, I often look up music releases on musicbrainz:
http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=%s&type=release
I bookmarked this URL and assigned a keyword (You can also right-click input fields and select 'Add a keyword for this search'). Now, everytime I enter "mb-r <name of the release I'm looking up>" into the url bar, it goes straight to musicbrainz and inserts my search string into the %s-placeholder.
