I Hope I'm Not the Only One

[forsyth]

Does anybody else find themselves using Google as a quick and dirty spellchecker when they don't want to stop and run a spellcheck or are using a web form or something without a spellcheck?

Spellcheck AND a calculator. I'm apparently too lazy to type Ctrl-Esc-R-c-a-l-c-Enter any more when I can just hit Ctrl-N-F8-g-[query here]-Enter.

It helps that Opera is very integrated with Google (and a number of other services) in the address bar.

Personally, I'd like the ability to be able to program my own address bar scripts for entries with spaces in. Even if it was only so I could say "When the address bar has [characterX][space][anything], convert it to http://servername/path/file?[anything] instead," and "If there is anything with spaces in submitted from the address bar and it does NOT match any of the existing scripts, assume it's a search phrase and dump it to Google."
