How do I tab through search results in Safari?

In Chrome, after a Google search, it is possible to press Tab to cycle through the search results. Then you can press Enter to select and open that link.

Is possible to do the same on Safari 6? After I searched something in the "omnibar", pressing Tab does not on cycle search results, and instead passed focus through many other elements. How do I get Tab to act like it does in Chrome?

You can use google's own shortcuts AFAIK...check this out....especially the experiment stuff... http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/navigate-google-search-results-keyboard/

If you could bring focus to search query box, you can use google instant shortcuts as well..

Safari => preferences => advanced => Check Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage.

Love this in chrome myself. It still works a tiny bit better there, but checking that option makes it workable in safari.
