I want to have searches done from the urlbar always use Google, regardless of what engine is selected in the search bar (after all, if the search behavior in the urlbar is the same as the searchbar, why even bother having a separate searchbar at all?) Some things that are not solutions: using a keyword search (keyword searches don't display search selections), using one-off searches (having to manually select Google every time isn't any easier than changing the selected engine in the search bar).

Also, I would like the context menu item that searches selected text to always use Google as well.

Edit: I found an extension that does this! "Keyword Search", by Mike Kaply, does what I'm looking for.

The search bar can do that. But not the address bar.

For the location bar your only option is to use a keyword search, but you wrote that you do not want to use this. With a keyword you can select any search engine. The search bar and context menu use the default search engine.
