I haven't made use of it. I really should start to.

I like the suggestion boxes to refine the search that pop up on the right. The suggestions can actually lead you in directions that you wouldn't have thought to take otherwise.

I use it constantly for Wikipedia searches; all you have to do is type !w wombats to learn about wombats. It's fantastic, even if it only decreases the wait by a single web page.

I've been doing direct searches on the wiki since my Firefox days -- maybe a year or two ago. I used the keywords feature: I just typed "wiki wombats" for marsupial goodness. It was on my main reasons, back in the day, not to switch to Chrome.
