I feel lucky - something like a keyword?

smilelover · 11-23-2005, 10:52 AM

Hey,
I use Opera web browser and one thing I really miss after I've converted from Firefox is the "I feel lucky" feature that you can use when you write something directly into the address bar and hit enter.

now the issue... I would like to do something similar in Opera, but there's no keyword for "I feel lucky". Does anyone know how to use this feature without using FF or launching the google.com interface itself? What about some address bar hacks? (GET method arguments?)

gosh, thanx, but i just had a look at the .src's
(firefox's search.ini's) and am not sure how to manipulate them, any more cool linx zima??

smilelover -i don't 'have' an i'm feeling lucky keyword (in firefox), any idea why?

This is not about Firefox, but Opera

Firefox has "I'm feeling lucky" built in adress bar right from the start (but can have there only that)

"hehe" thanx smile-lover, (i was wondering what that was, nah i just took it for granted) hey, good luck with those .ini's! (it looks like fun)

zima -sorry4that, um, i never noticed that as i threw out my search-bar so that i've got a minimal look. i'm working on searching from the address-bar tho' which is proving to be quite fun (maybe like .src's and .ini's are)
