Ultimately I found the solution myself, but it took me some time and I had to devise the solution myself, since all Google searches returned the extension which I wanted to avoid. Here it is.

  1. Right click the address bar and click "Edit search engines..."
    (or open "Settings -> Search -> Manage search engines...")
  2. Usually, you can find all recognized search engines you used already listed there, but if not, add this: (*use any keyword of your choice)
    enter image description here

The query URL: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%s

Now it is possible to use wa query from search bar to search on Wolfram Alpha. Note, this method allows you to use any search engine.

I wonder if adding it in Chrome as a search engine is better than using the Wolfram Alpha chrome extension though:

Wolfram|Alpha (Official)

That is much easier to search using just combination of "=" followed by space and you can directly type in your search query to the Math engine.

There is more to it, you can type formula and equations directly in your navigation bar using this on any page or tab.

What better way to search than the famous Euler's Identity? In Chrome Nav bar:

"=" ==> (space) ==> e^(i*pie) ==> (enter)

Or something like:

"=" ==> (space) ==> sqrt(1779)*cube(pi) ==> (enter)

And see the result instantly in Wolfram.
