Omnibox Site Search for Chrome googles your current website
You still can't sync custom search engines in Google Chrome, and that makes tasks like site-specific searches a pain. There are loads of extensions available which can handle the chore, of course, and one worth checking out is Omnibox Site Search.
Once installed, you simply type the letter s and press space to invoke a Google-powered site search for the domain you're currently visiting. The top five matches load in a flash, and you can also click through to Google via the top link for complete results. It's a fast, simple way to get results which are limited to a specific domain -- and as we know from experience, Google search is nearly always a lot better than most on-site search boxes.

Or, you could do a normal Google search using the site: operator. Just put the site: operator at the end of the search terms
ex: Omnibox site:downloadsquad.com

An easier way than adding an extension is using this tip I got from:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=7e327b9212534b35&hl=en
"1. Right click omnibox, select edit search engines
2. Add Search engine
3. Name the search whatever you want (i used 'Current Site')
4. Put in the keyword you want (i used 'cs')
5. paste this into the url:
javascript:void(location.href='http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&domains='+location.hostname+'&sitesearch='+location.hostname)
When you are on a site that you want to search, (and using the keyword i chose) simply type "cs search term" into the omnibox. and there you go!"
That'll work on any site and you don't need to add an extension. It's one of the first things I add on a fresh Chrome install.
