You can control it by going to preferences. alt-p -> advanced -> network > server name completion. That will control which tlds opera checks and in what order. It is quite handy - I have used it daily for almost 10 years now...
Same thing as control-enter over a url in IE (which also works in opera)

Firefox does this too. However, I notice a difference sometimes in the site you are taken to. I mean to make an article about this when I get time. Common words like "adobe" will always go to the obvious site, but other words must depend on who paid what to whom. :) | but alot of disadvantages to opera users |

I see only advantages. Don't forget you can also set up keywords in Opera and Firefox, to go straight to sites by just typing in a word you choose. Eg: "456" for the site 456 Berea Street.

Typing a word in the address bar and pressing enter (in Opera) would first look for a machine with that name on the local network and then would do another query based on the settings under the preferences (default: prefixing "www", and adding "com" as a suffix) You can change these preferences
Preferences (alt + p) > Advanced > Network > Server Name Completion I beleive in FireFox, the default settings are to search for the query using google, in a similar fashion as the "I'm Feeling Lucky" Feature, hence the difference in results

OK. Type "fuji" in Opera and in Firefox. :)
