But what is the point of not giving us the option to keep them separate?<br />
It doesn't come up too often, but about once a day or so, I miss the old feature. I like the ability to type something in the search bar and keep it there as I switch or open new tabs. More often, I start typing something in the search but don't search before I realize that I need to copy the url from the page I'm currently on, but I can't find that url unless I refresh the page. A minor inconvenience, but my old habits are still here years later. I hope that future versions will restore this feature, as Opera is overall a great browser. But as it stands I am really more comfortable using Firefox.</p>
