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:
    "C:\Program Files\Opera 9\opera.exe" "https://www.google.com/search?q=&query&
  • Command2:
    name = map
    template = query
    tip = google maps search
    command:
    "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.
