This feels like a bit of a regression. I used to be able to just use the automatic search, but it seems to be breaking for more and more sites recently. Even sites it used to pick up automatically, like tpb, now need to be manually specified.
And there's still no damned excuse for them not being able to search maps.google.com from the omnibox.
chrome://settings/searchEngines
search engine: rapgenius.com
keyword: rg
url: http://rapgenius.com/search?q=%s
Then just type rg<tab> in the omnibox and search for whatever you want, and get taken to rg's serp.
