Or instead you could use this site: http://www.blackle.com/

On backlit LCD screens (which is by far the most common) a black pixel uses more power than a white one. Just saying.
At any rate, Opera's UI is very customizable. And all I do to do a google search is type "g dreamviews" into the address bar and it searches google. (you've got other searches too, so "w lucid dream" gets you the wikiedia article and you can easily add your own searches so "t ETWOLD" searhes torrents using my favorite torrent search).

I have an addon where all I have to do to search from any source is type "ctrl+space" and it brings up a search box with a nice, big list of easy-to-find sources.

I don't think so.... I'm downloading it right now. Verily thanks is given ^-^

No prob. It may take a bit for firefox to adjust to all the searches, but it works if you give it some time. Also may have been taken care of in the latest release.

That's how I search with firefox, too. Generally Ctrl+T for a new tab w/ cursor in address bar, then g, w, d, y, i (google, wikipedia, dictionary.com, youtube, google images) and my search terms.

No, no you don't. You can right-click any search and "Add a keyword for this search." It's built in.
