How to add custom search engines to Chrome

Chrome's address bar doubles as a way to do a quick Google search, but you're not limited to searching Google. In that same bar, you can search any site or app.

This is great if you search specific apps frequently - for example, Gmail, Google Drive, or Twitter. You can search any site without having to open it first, just like you don't have to go to google.com to search Google. Type a keyword, hit space or tab, and you're good to go.
