The Chrome omnibox is basically an address bar that also functions as a search box. In it, you can easily navigate to local and online pages as well as find answers to simple and complex questions.
Speaking of which, Chrome has an auto-suggest feature that helps complete the web addresses (URLs) and keyword terms that you’re entering. If you’re using Chrome for Android, you can also get instant answers for simple or basic questions right within your browser’s omnibox.
For example, if you want to know the capital city of Maldives, then all you need to do is type the question on the omnibox. The answer will be automatically shown to you even before you perform an actual serarch.
