Google Search keyboard shortcuts

When Google removed the Google Instant feature from search in July 2017, keyboard shortcuts for navigating the search results unfortunately were also removed. However, with help of a Chrome extension, search results can be navigated easily using arrow keys.

(in search results) Go to search box. Details >>

Use this shortcut to move focus to search box, when browsing through search results. Then you can edit the existing search term or type a new search term. We discovered this shortcut as of July 2021; it appears as a suggestion on bottom left if you try to type something.

This extension is simply named Google Search Keyboard Shortcuts. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and just use following keys to navigate between search results.
1	Tab	Next result
0	or ↓
1	↑ Shift + Tab	Previous result
0	or ↑
0	⤶ Enter	Go to current result
You can enable Vim style keyboard shortcuts (J for next result, K for previous result and / to focus the search box) under Options.
Type anything to go to the search box again.
The selection arrow only appears when you use arrow keys or Tab, so until you use the keyboard, extension isn't visible (except it's toolbar icon, which can be hidden by right clicking over icon and selecting Hide).
