How much did Google pay Opera to change the auto complete feature on the address bar?Much of the time I would forget the new additional step(s) and get the detested google search the web function
I uninstalled 10.5 and went back to 10.1 because I hate this change.
Greed rules
For the benefit of those who do not have 10.5 but might someday, could someone explain what this change is about.

If looking up in google something made up of 2 or more words means "just writing these 2 words on the URL bar", then it makes perfect sense that, if you want to lookup one term made op of 1 word, the action needs to be the same, i.e. just writing this word on the URL bar...
Writing a word on the URL bar and hoping that some "magic intelligence" starts bumping through non-sensic and non-existant domains until maybe, if I'm lucky, I reach the domain I was looking for, seems to me, at least, a (literal) waste of time, waiting for these domains to fail (timeup error) and then Opera trying the next one "on the list".
Besides not to say you need(ed) to fine tune/populate (by hand) some internal domain list on opera configuration files, in the case your everyday domains are not .com/.net/ etc... (for example .es)...
My 2 cents!

Its nothing new that Google supports Opera — it has done since at least 2005.
Google Made Opera Browser Free
If you want to use another search engine, its not at all difficult to do, and having Google as the default is a small price to pay for this free software.
