First, I love Love LOVE how easy it easy to add and edit search
engines - thank you for that! One question: How do I delete
Google? I deleted a bunch of others, e.g., Download and Ebay,
without a problem, but when I try to delete Google, nothing
happens. No error message, no nothing.

Note that Google is *not* set as my default search engine.

Thank you,
Nancy

You can. If you manually edit search.ini
In that case, be careful the sequences of initial numbers,
like [Search Engine 1],[~ 2], you might know well.

Thank you Saito. For now, I'm going to try to use Opera with only
changing preferences via the Opera interface so I'm going to hold
off on doing what you suggested.

Opera Team: How about displaying a message when a user tries to
delete Google, e.g.: 'Google can not be deleted from this dialog
box.'

Thanks,
