Check whether you have enabled Opera Standard keyboard setup.

Is there a way to have the last found item on the page using inline find remain highlighted after going to another page, then returning to the orignal page, ie the same behavior as in Opera 8? Also, is there a way to link the shortcut Ctl+F to the inline find instead of the popup?

Press F3.

If you don't know how to edit keyboard setup see How to add/edit keyboard shortcuts in Opera? Search for f ctrl and change action to Find Inline, 1

Thanks.

I guess I wasn't clear. Let's say I search for "8" using inline find on the page. I use "find next" to find each "8", and after the third one on the page is highlighted, I use the go back arrow to go to another page. I then return to the page using the go forward arrow. With previous versions of Opera that third "8" would still be highlighted, but with Opera 9 the search begins anew. At least this is the behavior I get using "F3" as well as the inline search box.

Thanks for the f3 "find next" tip! somehow the "find in page" search box disappeared when I upgraded my browser. I've tried using the inline search but it just wasn't the same without a "find next" key.
Can't say how grateful I am! THANKS!!
