There's a way to do this in Opera, which is available for linux/xwin.. basically you'd have to modify opera's search.ini .. there's pages in google that explain what you need to do, including :

http://www.schrode.net/opera/search/search_ini.html

I use this function of Opera all the time.. which is one of the things that keeps me using it even though it doesn't work properly on some pages (including memestreams..).

to search google for something :
ctrl-n (new window) + "g search string" = google page I want
ctrl-n (new window) + "yp search string" = yp.yahoo san francisco search..

(etc)

Anyway, just a suggestion. :)
