Hi there. Is there a way to delete google from the search engines list? Also, is it possible to increase the width of the search (engine) box?

Regards.

Rename search.ini to search.ini.bak in Opera installation directory and restart Opera.

is it possible to increase the width of the search (engine) box?
No, but you can use address bar (F2 or F8) to search by inserting keyword before search term. g opera will search for opera using google search engine.

Neat, mate; thanks for the tip.

Yeah; and I don't think a resizable search box is high on too many wish lists, so I will have to do with it!

Thanks again; Regards.

I'd like to nominate you for an Opera Award. The process isn't terribly clear ;(

Here's what I'm thinking:

1. Your username is Tamil, right?

2. I take the link you showed and then a link http://my.opera.com/community/competition/form/ and ended up in a place that asks for 'competition answer'.

3. Seems like there should be a dialog box that says:

Enter Blog Writer's Username
Enter Category.

Sorry to be so dense :frown: I'm looking for a drive through window :wink:

Can't I use Ask.com as the default search engine. If so what would be the exact address. It doesn't seem to be in the list of possible search engines. Using only "Ask.com" does not work.
