Keyboard-only usage of Google Search

Question

How can I perform a Google search without using the mouse?

I want to be able to:

type in the search term and start the search ( possible already since I use a browser search bar );
navigate through the results ( ideally also between pages );
open the result page ( bonus points for opening in a new window );

If you want a native solution, you could enable the Google Labs feature, Keyboard shortcuts.

Here are the shortcuts you wanted:

Almost there. Any idea why it does not apply to the localized ( i.e. google.ro search ) ? It works if I manually construct the URL but the preference is not applied if I just visit google.ro . – Robert Munteanu Aug 19 '10 at 12:58
@Robert: no idea... I guess it's because it's an experimental feature. I would recommend bookmarking the URL that works for now until Google fix it. – Senseful Aug 19 '10 at 13:08

This is not from Google, but uses Google Search. Try Keyboardr
