Allow keywords connected to the first search term
Maybe allow defining the keyword with brackets or beggining with !! to distinguish from normal parsing.
For example, I now have keyword £ to search for pound to euro conversion in google "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=£%s in €". I use it by writing in the url bar "£ number".
This function would allow writing "£number" without the space.
This would be too confusing for single letter keywords like g, so every time you searched for git or golang it would treat it as a Google search of “it” or “olang”.

I can see the benefit of being able to drag the price in pounds and I appreciate your input. I'll see what I can come up with. The "!" prefix is already used by link bundles, but I could use another prefix.

No other advantages, but if you had a check-box or some special symbol at the beginning of the word like !! it would be different.
I want it because I drag text (like a price in pounds) and let go to open a new tab with a search, if the text doesn't have a space it doesn't work.
Other use could be for the bookmarklets, for example using ! as a keyword, we could write !nocss or !noi and see the results instantly. -

My main concern is too many conflicts with other searches. If your keyword is a letter (like g for Google) and no space is required, any word starting with 'g' would result in a search.
Are there other advantages you see other than not having to type a space?
