Creating a search
Frank A.
click the search box (the top one) and go through the motions, it takes me
to Google Search, not Advanced when I check the shortcut. Is this a
glitch with Google? Usually when I create a search from a point on a
webpage the shortcut takes me right back there, which you would think
would be what its supposed to do. But not Google Advanced. Which is a
very good search medium!

You have to create it by hand, with this address
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=%s

By hand? How did you get this URL? That's not the URL I get when I go to
Advanced Search, right click the message box and choose Create Search.

You get this URL by a normal search with Google clicking on
'Advanced search' and look at the Addressbar

Yeah, but this is the URL that works.

Looking at the Address Bar gives you this:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en
That is different for the search above that works. Right clicking on the
search bar in the Advance Search of Google does not bring about a working
URL. So, once again, how do you get the one that works:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=%s
from this one that one gets when right clicking the search bar in Google's
Advanced Search and choosing Create Search:
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
And that one doesn't work. It should open in Google Advanced Search.
Maybe Google Advanced Search is different. Because when I went here
(Metacrawler's Advanced Search):
http://www.metacrawler.com/metacrawler/ws/advsearch/ShowAdvanceSearch=1/rfcid=414/rfcp=Top/_iceUrlFlag=11?_IceUrl=true&qcat=web
the created search worked fine.

Okay, depends a bit from which page you come. Thats the one that you get
from the naked Google startpage. hl=en is just an option to see the
english page.

Do a normal googlesearch
http://www.google.com/search?q=Frank+A
then click on "Advanced search" and you see
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=Frank+A
maybe with different options behind, like '&hl=de&num=50', each option
with a leading ampersand. But the first one is the one that matters.

I know, but this doesn't work with "create search". If you want to now
why you have to ask Google. I think it's not Operas fault, cause if you
type a search term in the pure http://www.google.com/ search field an
then click on "Advanced search" the phrase will not be adopted on the
advanced search page, you have to type it twice. But doing the same in
a results page adopts the search term.

Right. I get this:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=Frank+A&hl=en
And there's the English marker at the end you mentioned above.

Yes - I think you're right. Definitely Google is interacting differently
with Opera here then most others. Sorry to be such a bother about this.
And I should have tried other websites - then I would have realized that
its Google's issue, not Opera's. You're patient. Thanks for that. This
little "Create Search" thing is a really great tool for people using
specific pages over and over again. Yet I doubt more than 1% of Opera
users even know about it. Hopefully, with out info, that will go up to 2%
at least!
