doesn't work , that's why I'm asking .

EDIT : NM , right ctrl+enter doesn't work, left ctrl+enter does .

Maybe thats because right ctrl is the host key in VirtualBox .

@oli even better, hit Ctrl+k, type your search condition and press enter

Whatever that is, it doesn't work in Opera or IE :(

@Oli Oops I was assuming you were using Firefox. In Opera (atleast 9.50) just type g followed by your search criteria, opera will do a google search. w followed by anything will lookit up in Wikipedia.
PS: You can add your own search engines / custom key combinations.

As for IE: Dude, junk it!
