The Chrome App Launcher

The Chrome App Launcher
A cool feature from Chrome OS is **w ported to Chrome for *******: the app launcher. For **w, it's only available in Chromium, but it will soon make its way to Chrome's dev channel. To enable it, open a new tab, enter this address: chrome://flags, press Enter, scroll to the bottom of the page, click "Enable" next to "Show Chromium Apps Launcher" and restart the browser.

You should see a new icon in the taskbar for a Launcher that includes the apps you've installed from the Chrome Web Store and a search box that works just like Chrome's Omnibox. The app Launcher is great because it's there even if Chrome's ******* have been closed and it's a faster way to open an app, perform a search or go to any other site. You can also use it for simple calculations and unit conversions. It reminds me of the Google Quick Search Box and a similar feature from Google Desktop.
