This doesn't work!
I have changed the settings as described and saved them but Google always appears as Google .com and not Google.co.uk

You have to change search.ini in your profile folder and not the one in Opera installation folder. You have to restart Opera.

How do I open the dictionary or searches in the hotclick menu or the toolbar in another BACKGROUND page. Currently, it's opening in a new page thx to some of your tweaks.

Thanks in advance!

Add the following in your menu file under [Hotclick Popup Menu]
Item, Google search in new page = Copy & New Page & Go to page, "http://www.google.com/search?q=%c&num=%i&sourceid=opera" & Switch to previous page
