When using the Firefox location bar as my search box I can't use advanced search operators like **site:*google.com hello* because this warning box pops up.

enter image description here

Is there any way to get around this?

Reverse the order in the bar.

Instead of typing in

site:google.com hello

use this:

hello site:google.com

This is also true for Google Chrome.

What I did was make a bookmark for a google search, fill in the following fields:

Name: google
Location: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s&aq=f&oq=undefined
Keyword: g

Then just type 'g site:somwhere.com something' in the address bar and it will work.
