This might be a trend for the future as browsers of various types become more common, partnerships with search engines. In this case, Answers.com will be the search engine of choice for Opera's web portal. In case you don't know, Answers.com is the offshoot idea of the people who brought you GuruNet, a very fine tool for searching deeper into all kinds of content. This knid of arrangement is not unlike A9.com incorporating Google into search but creating a whole new experience.
