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.

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.

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

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

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.

I haven't been able to change the Speed Dial search from Ask to Google in Opera 9.50. I've tried following the instructions above and also editing the Speed Dial settings on opera:config but so far no difference. Is there something different I need to do?

GREAT TIPS

Is it possible to make it such that whenever you load up the speed dial page, it auto focuses on the search engine box? (so I don't have to click on it in order to start typing). I actually have google on one of speed dials because it's so much easier to click on a speed dial button than the search engine box. =)
Thanks

To change the dafault search engine to one that opera currently doesn't have, do the following. I am using Bing as an example however this should work for any search engine.
1. Go to www.bing.com (or the main page of your search engine)
2. Type in 'Test' and hit enter.
3. In the address bar of the result page, replace the word 'Test' with '%s' and copy the whole URL.
4. Go to Tool-> Preferences-> Search and click 'Add'
5. Give the new search engine a name and a unique keyword and paste the URL you just copied to the address field.
6. Select set as default if you want this engine as your default search engine.
