Changing address bar search from Yahoo

Hey,
I didn't know how to word the title of the topic, sorry if it isn't clear.

In the address bar i often find myself just entering words such as "opendns" or "YouTube" etc to goto that address (which it did in Firefox) is there anyway to reclaim this functionality in Flock or at very best change the default search engine used when entering terms to Google?

I have rooted through the menus and set my default search engine to Google disabled Yahoo, is there anyway?

Cheers!

Im not really sure that this works but it might. Im running xp pro so first go to tools click on internet options then click advanced at the top right, scroll down to the "when searching" part with the magnifier picture mine was at first set too do not search from the address bar (its probably why it wont work) then just change it to a different one like display results, and go too the most likely site. I haven't tested it lots so if something goes wrong switch it back.
