Allow direct access to search engines pages using keywords

I use search engine keywords to go to sites faster. I define a search engine with no %s in it and I use the keyword in the address bar to go there. Unlike Firefox, Opera requires a blank after the keyword to make it work. This is annoying. The keyword is two characters long, and the blank increases its length by 50%. Could you please remove this requirement?

@doru001 It seems to me that Firefox is the doing it wrongly

Why, you expect me to access a two character URL or to search a two character string on Google?

@doru001 Because people do it?
But I guess I understand now the feature you are requesting.

@doru001 By the way, how things work in other Chromium based browsers?

@leocg No blank required.
Opera's Settings page is very similar to that of chromium, I thought you know details ...

@leocg I believe that chromium is older than Opera and therefore Opera copied its interface.

@doru001 Yes, Opera is based on Chromium like many other browsers.
