Hey all. I've got a few people in the office using Opera 8 now that it is ad-free, and to further sell the browser (though everyone is understandably impressed) I've made sure to have some cool search.ini tweaks available for them.

Latest one I came up with is for Google Maps. "map" is the key, so to get directions you'd enter (if you knew the addresses, of course):
map 151 Andover Street 01960 to 90 Pleasant Valley St 01844
(From one Borders bookstore to another, heh.)

I also made sure dictionary.com, merriam-webster.com, and wikipedia were available as those are popular places for myself and I think others would find them useful.

I also have some LJ-specific searches. Use LJ * for a livejournal page (such as: lj login.bml or lj poll/create.bml), lju for a user's page (such as: lju erislover), and ljf for a friends page (such as: ljf erislover).
