I personally prefer to use custom commands for this.

For example (Settings-\>Customize-\>Commands-\>User-\>Add)

- Command1:  
name = g  
template = query  
tip = google search  
command:

```nohighlight
"C:\Program Files\Opera 9\opera.exe" "https://www.google.com/search?q=&query&

```

- Command2:  
name = map  
template = query  
tip = google maps search  
command:

```nohighlight
"C:\Program Files\Opera 9\opera.exe" "https://maps.google.com/maps?q=&query&"

```

Next, drop a commands field from (Settings-\>Customize-\>Commands-\>Tools) in your GUI.

Next you can type g or map followed by your query in the command field. E.g.:

g test  
g "test query"  
map europe  
etc...

For meta searches just insert multiple searches into the body of the custom commands.
