yep... also in the address bar just instead of pressing return use cmd-return and it will open in a new tab. As for the search bar, I don't know why anyone would bother with it when you have the shortcuts like "g something" for google. It's so quick to get up to the location bar with cmd-L and then you can have shortcuts for all sorts of searches (e.g. I have wikipedia, google, google images, imdb etc.).
