I believe many people know this tip and already are using it this way. However, I was inspired by this post recently.

Chrome's browsing "History" Tips: start all URLs via "Google the search engine"

After I started to use Google's Chrome, I realized my web browsing "history" is not fully saved at Google's "Bookmark/Web history" web application.
