two things I miss in konqueror are:

- gestures - anyone who used opera knows how great this feature is. it's really useful and saves a lot of needles mouse moves and a lot of clicks.

- search fields like in mozilla or opera - in my opinion it's better to have such search fields that enter for example ggl: in www address field. Search fields might be in panel on the left where history, bookmarks and other things are located.

i can't wait to see this features soon (i hope

)

For search field, you can enter some words in the adress bar, some times it goes to google and perform the search, and sometimes it says "malformed url"

You don't even have to start Konqueror for that,

That's a feature that's been available for a while now.

The following are a few acronyms that come with KDE:
gg for Google.
ggi for Google image search
fm for freshmeat
ad for acronym finding
dict for the Merriam-Webster dictrionary

You can add your own: Settings->Configure Konqueror->Web Shortcuts

Gestures are planned for 3.2.

However, I think it'll be more important to see what new features are presented.

Gestures Yay!

I'm a big fan of mouse gestures too. Using Opera for just a day got me hooked.

In fact, I've already thought "back gesture", but stopped myself when I realized it wasn't going to work. I would love to see gestures added.
