Shortcut for Google search box
Solution 1
Since this feature was very unfortunately removed by Google in July 2017, you need a browser extension to add it back. One that I find useful is: Google Search Keyboard Shortcuts. With this extension, you can just start typing and it will bring you back to the search box.

I don't know when this happened, but today I was about to click the search bar and a little prompt appears near the bottom and says something to the effect of:
press the / key to search.
I did, and voila! I am able to start typing in the omnibox!
Thanks Google!
EDIT:
I found a screenshot:
Ironically, the shortcut doesn't work on the search homepage (google.com
), only after you've done a search can you use that shortcut.

Is there a short cut for Google search box as in the picture below in Google chrome? Thank you.
The question here is different with what I am asking. What I want to find shortcut is the red box in the picture below not the address bar as in the link.
