@sgunhouse Sometimes it is something like this
but sometimes a website will open of the same phrase/word.

There is a keyboard shortcut to automatically add www. and .com to the address bar and attempt to go to that site; you must accidentally be hitting that shortcut - I believe it is Ctrl-Enter. If you are using the keyboard, make sure you release the modifier key(s) before pressing Enter.

Sometimes but not rarely when I copy/paste a word into the search bar,
I have an alternative theory, but I may be wrong:
Opera uses
Ctrl+Shift+V
as default keyboard command to call up a web page being in the clipboard comfortably immediately.If you use this key combination sometimes inadvertently instead of just
CTRL+V
, depending on what is currently in the clipboard, this phenomenon could possibly be triggered.To check, change or delete that keyboard shortcut, open Opera's preferences and search for Paste and go.
