Adding Google desktop search to Opera

Yesterday I downloaded google desktop because organizing more than 400 GB of files is like mission impossible. The only thing I hate of having another program, is having another search screen/program floating around on my already busy desktop. Using opera search option to ad google desktop to my computer was of course my first choice. I found a little tutorial but after testing it this seemed to be outdated. So here is e new version:

First you have tot test your google desktop en do a test query, for example:
http://127.0.0.1:4664/search?q=test&flags=68&num=10&s=123456789abcdefg

See the code behind '&s='? Copy it as it is a unique code.

Go to your search profile.
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\search.ini

An ad the flowing line at the bottom of your search.ini file.

[Search Engine 35]
Name=Google Desktop
URL=http://127.0.0.1:4664/search?q=%s&flags=68&num=10&s=
Query=
Key=gd
Is post=0
Encoding=iso-8859-1
Search Type=5
Verbtext=17063
Position=-1
Nameid=0

At the URL= line you just have to paste your unique id behind '&=s'. for example:
URL=http://127.0.0.1:4664/search?q=%s&flags=68&num=10&s=123456789abcdefg

The shortcut in the address bar is gd, for example if you type 'gd test' you will see you google desktop looking for test, just as 'g test' would open the page of google looking for test. If you like to edit this you just need to adjust 'Key='.

I only tested on my desktop. So it could be a little bit buggy. If you find a bug. pleas notice it so I can adjust the tutorial.
