In classic Opera browser if you prefixed your search query with a letter it always searched with engine associated with the letter. For example:
`g thisissearch.com` would be interpreted as Google search query, not url. I think this is good behaviour.
- nieve 12y agoThere are two different ways to do this in Firefox with no addons or weird configs: Open Preferences->Search->One-click Search Engines, make sure google is checked, double-click "google" in the keyword column, change it to just "g". If you want to keep the old "google" term or outright disable Google as a built-in search engine you can still add "g" as a keyword search. Go to Google, right click the search box, select "Add a Keyword for this Search..." and select "g" as your keyword. This works for search forms on most sites that aren't doing insane stuff with javascript or mandating a security token and it generally remembers other form settings as well.
