my search bar is annoying me.

it's great the way you can select different search engines from the dropdown menu (eg wikipedia, imdb...)

but about the only thing i miss from ie is that i could paste something into the search box and then click the button to search.
does anyone know a way of activating the search without recourse to the keyboard?

i use firefox at home, and i usually use copy/paste to search.

is this not working for you?

the other shortcut is highlight the relevant phrase on the webpage, and right click to get 'search the web for', which will open up a new tab and perform the search automatically.
