All the posts I've seen (searching for hate awesome bar) talk about how it  
does not find the links you type in, it only finds lots of other stuff you  
don't want.

I think they have fixed a lot of those problems.  It seems to 99% of the  
time find what I want.  It seems to find quite high on the list links  
where I type a portion of the address, which I believe is what FF2 used to  
do.

Opera's equivalent to the awesome bar, on the other hand, is next to  
useless.  So I can see how people would have hated it if it was like that  
originally.

For example, I sometimes want to post a link in my news post to a prior  
post.  In order to do this, I want to fire up webnews from  
digitalmars.com.  I figure typing in webnews would come up with the link,  
but opera doesn't.  If I type in digitalmars, then it's on the list, but  
not the first one.

In firefox, it's the first link when I type in webnews.
