Site search with no entry was useful ("a" = amazon.com)

Before one of the recent updates, you could just enter "a" in the taskbar if "a" was stored as your amazon.com search field, and you would get the site with an empty search box. Nice!
Now entering only the search engine letter(s) with no actual text after it always defers to the default search engine, i.e. searches "a" on google or whatever.
Somewhat less useful IMHO.
Could you guys switch behavior back to how it was?
Would be very cool! Thanks, Gundolf

I tested in older builds of Opera and see that typing a search engine shortcut like 'a' (when set for Amazon for example) just by itself does nothing and just searches for 'a' with the default search engine. A space after the 'a' though does the trick and searches Amazon (for example) with no search term.
In the latest builds of Opera, I see that 'a' and a space for example no longer does the trick and it has to be 'a', a space and then some other character that's not a space.
I'm not sure if that's an intentional change or not and not sure if the change comes from Chromium or something Opera did.
