How to convert the search field into a button in the Opera Search panel?
Friday, 20. February 2009, 09:36:44
If you want to search for same thing in different search engines, Search panel is convenient compared to integrated search field in address field.
When you add a search engine to the Search panel, Opera will add search field instead of a button. The problem with search field is you have to enter the search term again if you want to search for already entered search term in global search field. Search field can be converted in to a button easily.
- Add required search engine to the Search panel from
- Open toolbar configuration file and under [Search Panel Toolbar.content] replace SearchX, Y with ButtonX, "Search Engine Name"=Search, Y
- Activate modified toolbar setup from to see the changes.

Changing the Toolbar Configuration file, must be done when Opera is off.

To me, does not change it (edit with Notepad). Even when acting replace toolbar.ini, with other toolbar(1).ini.
How do this, Tamil?
If I create toolbar(1), but use Opera toolbar(2),I can edit toolbar(1), because Opera does not use it at this time. Then I change the menu. In this case, change is possible.

There is a file named 'search' in my profile which has all my search engines listed.
Can I just add the Search Panel Toolbar.content with the changes to the end of the standart_tolbar(1).ini ?
