Yeah this isn't the same at all. For example I don't know how to add a custom search like:

http://www.stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/%s

When I add a search via right clicking the search box on that site it doesn't work.

Plus, the completion UX is great on Chrome, as soon as you press space or tab aftert he keyword it confirms with a special UX "Search Wikipediea" for example. Here, you get no feedback whatsoever... if I type sfs 1.1.1.1 is it going to google that, or is it actually going to search StopForumSpam for the IP ? I have no idea until I press enter. :(

UPDATE

Looks like you have to use "keywords for bookmarks"

I see, thanks. It seems the flexibility of entering a custom URL with the %s in it for the search term is lost.
