I'm wondering if anyone knows about "Knew Tab" or a related extension for Chrome that I can download. If so, can you provide me with a access to it? Apparently, Knew Tab is no longer available, and I've emailed several other developers who have created something similar a while ago to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Didn't know how to phrase my question but I'll try to explain it here.
Have you seen how you can start typing a website URL in chrome's then hit [TAB] and then chrome's URL bar will jump into a searchy status?
For example, type 'facebook.com' in your address bar, then hit [TAB]. what you type in now will be searched for inside facebook.
What does facebook have to have for it to work?
So the thing youre talking about is called omnibox, and here's a link to a similar question which includes loads of detailed answers: How to add google chrome omnibox-search support for your site?
Hope this helps.
Edit: For those reading wondering why they can't replicate the facebook example given in the question, omnibox doesnt always work for everyone, its always been iffy on my work computer but works perfectly at home, I believe its something to do with the browser settings (official advice is just to reset them and try again!)
i am a complete noob in coding, i have a question on how to make chrome's notifications stay until i dismiss them like youtube does. I have already seen the answers to the question, but i really don't understand how to do it. Hope you can support my noobiness and make a quick tutorial on how i can do it, i would appreciate it. it's crucial for me i have to do this but i don't know how to code in chrome and developer stuff i read many blogs and posts but still can't understand. Any help is highly appreciated !
You can make a notification persist until dismissed with requireInteraction flag:
Indicates that the notification should remain visible on screen until the user activates or dismisses the notification. This defaults to false.
Using auto-it I need a to find the most recently opened tab in Google chrome and close it, I have absolutely no idea how to approach this, so any help would be greatly appreciated
I'm trying to get a start in programming by writing a Chrome extension similar to the Smart Bookmarks Bar extension for Firefox. Java seems straightforward enough, and I can probably figure out the specifics of building an extension but I can't find out what commands I need to change the rendering of the bookmarks.
1)Does anyone know where I could find the relevant documentation?
2)Does anyone know of extensions that interact with bookmark rendering I could take a look at the source code of?
Everything you can do with the bookmarks is listed in the API:

(and as someone said here on SO: java is related to javascript as a car is related to a carpet :] )
I'm looking for a way to expose Google-Search functionality on my site so that chrome users can use context-sensitive searching (e.g:)
Chrome Search http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/7762/chromesearch.png
I know YouTube is owned by Google, but I couldn't remember which 3rd party sites I had seen this feature work on before. Anyway, I couldn't find any reference to this in google-labs or on code.google.com, so I've turned to you SO.
If anyone has any insight in how to expose this, or a reference doc, I'd be greatly appreciative.
Please note that I am basing my answer off of the context of your question, as at my work I cannot see the image. If my answer is not what you are looking for, please let me know.
I'm not sure if this exactly how Google Chrome does this, but Chrome supports it, and I found this by looking at the source code for this Stack Overflow page.
http://www.opensearch.org
This is an XML specification for providing custom searching. It is currently supported by Chrome, FF, and IE7.
If you want to look at an example page, this is the link to the Stack Overflow specification:
