Lets say I set "w" as search engine alia of Wikipedia Search and wants to find for the term/keyword "chupakapra", all I need to do is typing "w chupakapra" in my Maxthon 2 address bar.
There's still a lot of features in Maxthon 2...online favorites, ads hunter, filter packs... The only fallback would be the speed. It wasn't slow (feels slightly slower than Firefox 2), but it would be better if it can render the page faster, but then its up to Microsoft's IE as Maxthon 2 uses the core. Curious?
