[Vimperator] Search engine shortcuts?

[Sitaram Chamarty]

I have about a dozen search keywords/shortcuts like the "wp" mentioned
above, and the biggest thing about 0.5 for me was that I can finally
say: "t wp something" or "t abbr TLA" or "t slang something" (you get
the idea!) and it now does the right thing.

But this only works fine on my home machine, not at work.  Same Linux,
same Firefox (2.0.0.6), pretty much the same list of extensions on
both, though the work one does have a few more.

The work machine behaves like 0.4 in this respect!

To put my problem differently, I don't like step 3 in the list of 4
steps you see if you type ":help :open".  I want it to go straight to
step 4.

And no, unsetting "defsearch" didn't help.  It barfed :-(

Any ideas, before I start the annoying "delete all extensions one at a
time and see if you can spot the conflicting one" game?
