For those of you (like me) that have openDNS…there are work arounds to get this functionality. Install greasemonkey and head for userscripts.org. There are 2 scripts there that are useful for openDNS users. One of them will take w/e is typed into the location bar, the other will do a regular google search. You can find both of them by searching for opendns on the userscripts site. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your help. I have been looking for this feature for a long time. And it is working very well infact. Thanks

Doesn’t bother me. I used the keyword field in the bookmark editor to implement Konqueror/Opera-like “gg: search terms” and so on. (I’ve also got Google Images, YouTube, and BitTorrent shortcuts)

I have the same issue with OpenDNS. I hate that they do that.

Any reason to do this instead of searching from the search bar? It seems like it would clutter up your History to have URL’s/Titles mixed in with a bunch of keyword searches.

Not sure, I think OpenDNS over-rides your other settings, but might need to check with them first on this one.

Will this work if you are using OpenDNS? Its not working on my system – it takes me to opendns search.
