I sometimes tend to type my question in directly in the web address bar, Marine Diesel D2. And the search result page that appears is from the following address. http://www.baidu.com/baidu?tn=dealio_dg&wd=diesel+d2

To make Google to search when you type any keywords:

Type about:config in address bar.
