I'll work out how to make Opera do it when i find some free time :) Another interesting thing is that in Opera, if you do any searching through the address bar (just typing or by using the search engine specifiers [eg: g test = search google for test and a test searches answers.com for test]) this uses the Opera forwarded version of those search engines... They must make quite a bit of money from all that. ----- Peter http://peteremcc.wordpress.com I used to always use Ctrl+Enter on IE and it’s the ONLY thing I miss in Opera…

google + [Ctrl+Enter] = http://www.google.com

But typing URLs is normal, I think - I do it too (and also use bookmarks, and del.icio.us). What I find strange is to search for "ebay" to instead of typing www.ebay.com... but, apparently, most people do it. Weird. The “http://” isn’t needed these days.
