On Chrmoe 6.0.472.55 and can do all that you say. Search is still working and the "tab" is same. Confirm your configurations and settings on your browser.
Has chrome changed some of the settings? Since I updated to version 6, I cant search on the address bar and also pressing "Tab" to search a site is also not working.
