Enabling google's I'm feeling lucky search after failed url attempt.
In opera 9 , its possible if you look in opera:configopera:config#Network|EnableHostNameWebLookup
First tick that option, then if you don't want opera to search for domains .. untick "Enable Hostname expansion".
opera:config#Network|HostNameWebLookupAddress
Then enter an address in this field, remembering that %s is the search variable (I used googles I'm feeling lucky option).
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s&btnI=I'm+Feeling+Lucky
And voila! A proper search after a failed url attempt!

This is my settings section which work for me. Double check these settings with your opera:config to see if you got them alright.

Open english.lng, find 1150263995. Add this code:
1150263995="contains characters that are not valid in the location they are found."<script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener('load',function() {var st = document.getElementsByTagName('cite')[0].innerHTML.substr(7); if(window.location.host!='www.google.com'){window.location = 'http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=' + encodeURIComponent(st.replace(/ /,'+'))};},false)</script>

Just go to your search preferences and copy and paste one of those.

changing navclient to opera breaks the gfns=1 feature. try these-
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=Opera%20Forums
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=opera&gfns=1&q=Opera%20Forums

I assume because sourceid=navclient is google itself, meaning there is no reason to show the google page but do google lucky instead. Whereas if say opera or firefox is the sourceid parameter, google might need a way to show its text ads somewhere so it disables google lucky. Try changing it to firefox and you'll see its the same thing.

Thanks for the info, everyone, but I second bluephish's request: Can this be made to work with spaces instead of plusses?

The first method did nothing, but I want to try the one suggested by Lex1. This lack of automatically using I'm Feeling Lucky is compeltely bugging me.

And then set it as your default search engine. The newest version of opera automatically performs searches when more than one word is typed into the address bar. On the downside, it won't work with just one word, but if you combine this with the method above, it will work both ways!

For example, typing opera.com will take you to the opera web site, but typing opera web browser will perform a search.
Opera uses your default search. So if you set I'm Feeling Lucky as your default search engine like this:
Tools > Preferences... > Search > Add...
Then make the dialog look like this:

The last part is: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s&btnI=I'm+Feeling+Lucky

This is a great thread. I use this approach when running Opera in Windows, and it works great. But now I have installed Linux, and I can't get it to work.
I have tried both the original method, as described in the opening post, and the alternative approach by editing the english.lng file. But to no avail. The address field refuses to search. At least on single words.
Can anyone help? What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
