SearchEdit - search.ini Editor for Opera

Can you share Search.ini file?

I found that

Suggest URL=http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=firefox&q={SearchTerm}

also works (for global searches, I think)

Any idea how to set the number of results shown? The URLs return 10 suggestions, but Opera shows just 3.

Can you do this ? If yes, pls share one of your default search.ini
I haven't do it.

I don't think you can edit the default search.ini, nor the default google engine (i.e. 7A8CADE6677811DDBA4B5E9D55D89593). I added a new google search, for which the auto-suggest is triggered (just shows 3 entries instead of 10). You may not want to use the same UNIQUEID for the new engine as me

You can, if you will change C:/Program Files/Opera/defaults/search.ini file

Personally I do my experiments in a different *test* folder (linux only : opera -pd path)
I recommend to do your modifications always in your profile search,ini (custom searches) because this file will not be overwritten by your next update.
There are a lot of search.ini files and you may edit the wrong file.
/defaults/search.ini is a copy of the localised english search.ini and is only used if my localised search.ini is missing...

I think some of you are editing the wrong file



If you are editing a standard search with opera's GUI, the modified search will be written in your custom search.ini (profile folder)

I know. I'm using Opera@USB for this tests...

I'm not using auto-update. I'm using Desktopteam builds and installing with classsic installer. It's overwriting...

No I'm sure... I changed default .ini file, opened Opera, other search engines have gone... Just stayin 3 search. Status: OK. I'm selecting third engine for default engine. But doesn't work. Can you upload ss?

(if i told wrong thing, sorry my poor English)

Can it be done via the edit custom searches?

No. For now, you can't edit suggestion protocol & url with Opera UI...

Unfortunately in these examples Opera needs to be masked as Firefox in the suggest url.

On all google searches that I tried (global, local and youtube) works this rule:
add somewhere in suggest url word json e.g.
search?json&bla=bla&bla=bla or search?bla=bla&json&bla=bla

and remove parameters that contain name of another browser e.g. &client=firefox or &output=firefox.
Or even better replace it with opera ;D. Opera probably won't get money for this yet but maybe will get them in future

great, i add your hint.

Anyone know why only 3 suggestion??

I hope they will add UI settings for suggestions count together with Suggest Protocol & URL.

thanks. it helped me.http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Dance.gif -
