Usually, what will you do when you want to start new search with Google search bar on the top-right corner of your web browser? There are three ways to do that.
Type 1. Google Homepage
This is the least advanced way. However, most of my friends still use this way. First, you open new tab (shortcut : , followed by typing in the url address "www.google.com", filling in the search term and Google will return you the result.
T)
The advantage of using this way is that you can see Google homepage which in special occasion, the logo is changed.
Type 2. New Tab and Search Bar
In this way, you will open a new tab (shortcut : , move cursor to search box T)(shortcut : , type the search term and Google will bring you to the result page for your search.
L
or 
F for Safari and K for Firefox)
Type 3. Search Bar and Open Search in New Tab
Fortunately, you don't really need to open new tab before you want to perform new search with Google. You can jump quickly to the search bar with the shortcut provided (as exposed before), type in your search term and then open url in new tab (shortcut : . In return, you will have new tab opened with the search result from Google.
for Safari and for Firefox)
