Google now supports HTTPS for search results, but by default Google Chrome sends requests over HTTP. To change this you need to create new search provider as follows:

1. Right click on the address bar and select "Edit search engines"
2. Add new search engine (URL copied from Google search engine and {google:baseURL} is replaced with https://www.google.com/):
   Name: Google SSL
   Keyword: https.google.com
   URL: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s (short URL, right-click and select "Copy link address" for complete URL)
   
3. Select Google SSL search engine and make it default.

After that direct searches from the address bar will be transferred securely.

I've released the very first version of the GalleryViewer extension that converts page image sets to good looking galleries.

Here is Google Chrome Extension API diagram that I've created while working on my extension for Google Chrome. It shows only stable API (does not contain experimental API classes). Auxiliary classes are added for displaying method parameters. I hope it will be useful for extension developers.
