Google Opera Enter key problem

I noticed few days ago that my keyboard enter key does not work in Google search bar from my Opera browser. I researched little bit, and here is what I found.
Google added recently some new features to its search. But some of them like “query suggestion” have broken Javascript in them, so it stop enter functionality. Strange thing is that Google give one version of javascript to Firefox and another to Opera. If you mask Opera as Firefox everything will work, what gives me idea that Google maybe want to steal some of Opera browser users to their Chrome, but maybe I am just paranoic.

However don’t switch to another browser , here is workaround until Google resolve this issue.

Go to google site you use, then click on “preferences” and under “Query Suggestions” section select “Do not provide query suggestions in the search box.” and save the Preferences.

After that your enter will work as supposed to work.

There is another fix in the form of User JS. I did not test it but people say it works too.
Here is it http://www.tomec.net/files/google-enter.js. Just insert it in your User JS folder of Opera.
