I really miss being able to search youtube quickly by opening a new tab, typing `you`, and hitting tab to query inline.

You can do better than that, you can add custom search engines for most search bars on the web, triggered by key words.

Just go to Youtube.com, right click the search box and click the "add keyword" menu item. Then choose a keyword you want to use to trigger a Youtube search (I use yt) and confirm.

After that you can search Youtube from anywhere by just typing "yt cute kittens" in the address bar and hitting enter.
