Quick search

  1. I was amazed by how many people don’t know about this trick. Even the ones who use Opera for years were surprised when I showed it to them. Here’s the deal: Let’s say, I’m not able to watch the football match Roma-Fiorentina live on the TV, but I want to be able to follow it on the Internet. In that case, I’d go to Opera Portal and look for it there. Opera is all about speed, right? And the fastest way to find something on the page is to press “.” (period) on the keyboard to revoke the Quick find dialog.

  2. So I hit period (.) on the keyboard and start typing ‘roma’ and all the instances of ‘Roma’ on the page will get instantly highlighted, as you type… If you’re searching for links, hit ‘,’ (comma) instead of period on your keyboard. It will display the “Finding links” dialog.
    That’s it :) Enjoy!
