I tend to just type in the browser's address bar. If it's a URL, it goes to the URL. If it isn't, it does a Google search (and if it's a book, the Amazon page will usually be the top result).

I've seen this suggestion (that Amazon is the most popular search engine for books) many times, but this thread is the first time I've seen it challenged.
