Mozilla can do this too (Score 1)

I agree that being able to type 'g search text' in the location bar is a useful thing. You can tweak Mozilla to do this, with about ten lines of javascript (in the navigator.js file in chrome/comm.jar). You can also get it to search e2 for you when you type 'e search text', or whatever. A particularly useful and fast tweak is to set it up so any text entered in the location bar which features a space character is automatically treated as search text, and searched for at Google.

Mozilla also lets you search for highlighted text via the context menu.

Three cheers for highly configurable software!
