    Cool Searching on ANY engine from address bar

    You may already know this but in case you don't read on!

    Many people know you can search from the IE address bar...but it only goes to the piece of crapola MSN search. Want to search Google? Altavista? Lycos? Hotbot (Didn't try that one)? Just put the name of the search engine before your query!

    Example: Google Windows Drivers and Support
    Example 2: AltaVista tech tips

    I discovered the multi engine thing by accident a week ago and I love it! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

    I use Opera 5, where one can type "g drivers" to get a search on Google.

    Other keyboard shortcuts are also available from the navigation bar.

    Cool

    I've also been a long time Opera user (now 5.12). I like the Google Search bar right next to the address bar. I found this site last week TEOMA it shows promise, but I like Google better. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
