Opera 10 Address Bar Search...
lupo666
I provide to my clients and/or use at work...
In IE, FF and Chrome, I was able to disable the autosearch feature in
the address bar, something I cannot seem to do in Opera 10...
What I mean is: if I type "bing" in the address bar, I want it to go
to google and search for bing, NOT go directly to bing.com...
I know about "g bing", but this is NOT what I need. I just don't want
to end up on some questionable site, just because I was searching for
something right off the address bar...
Thank you in advance fr any help you may provide...
Ciao, Lupo

didn't understand was point 5:
5. Put the search url (you can find ready to go ones in the search
preferences) into "HostName Web Lookup Address"
Didn't understand where to look, but I used the same string I used in
FF for the same scope and it worked perfectly...
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
If you could point in the right direction for point 5, it would be
wonderful!
Thank you, Lupo

cannot seem to sort them alphabetically. Even if I open manage
widgets, sort them by name, next time I restart Opera, they go back to
being listed as I downloaded them...
Is it a bug or am I missing something?
Ciao, Lupo
Whoosh
AMAZON http://redir.opera.com/amazon/?q=%s
EBAY http://redir.opera.com/ebay/?q=%s
YAHOO http://yahoo.opera.com/search/?q=%s&fr=opera2
WIKIPEDIA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s
What I can't figure out is how to add one. I'd like to add Yahoo Advanced Search and Google Advanced Search and others. Is there some formula you use? Just looking at the URL's makes it look like Amazon and Ebay are similar but Yahoo is different and Wikipedia is way different.

Right-click on the text box of a search form and select the option to
'Create search'.

Brilliant shortcut.
Except with Google Advanced Search it doesn't work. I'm in the basic search.
Jens Schuessler
Alt-P -- Search -- Add new
Not sure about the last one, I've german language.
Adress:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=%s
and then you have to define a shortcut for the search

*I* know what Scroogle is and i use it sometimes. but the *OP* wants
to know how to add *Google Advanced*, and so I told him

That Scroogle search shortcut works great. How did you get it? When I right click the search bar in Scroogle, click Create Search, I get this:
http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi
But below it I see
Gw=%s&n=2
for the query string and Use Post is checked. It uses Gw=%s but not the &n=2 characters. Clear as mud.
Opera really needs to make this more clear. Not 1% of average users will catch on to this. Why hide these great features I wonder?
Whoosh
When I do here: http://www.google.com/advanced_search and right click the search bar, Create Search, I get this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=%s&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
Nothing else is activated. I wonder why its not working?
Your link above:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=%s
worked perfectly.
When I do the same with Yahoo I get this:
http://ca.yahoo.com/r/csim?p=%s&fr=yfp-t-501&type=&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8
I wonder what is causing the URL to be so long?
Whoosh

I was hoping for an explanation as to what symbols to use so I can do it myself. Sure seems cryptic. Does anybody understand what the characters mean that are used to focus from a point on a webpage search field?
