Use "Search With..." in textareas

How does one enable the "Search With.." feature in the context menu of textareas? From casual googling it looks like one could edit some .ini files to add or remove items from the Opera context menus, but I cannot find the right files. I'm using Opera 11 on Kubuntu Linux.

Thanks.

Editing Menus

The edit context menu is rather long due to spell-check items.

Reducing the Size of the Spell Check Menu

You might be able to do a combination of both — removing what you don't need, and adding what you do.

Thanks, Pesala! I did manage to get the "Search With" submenu to appear by adding this line:
Submenu, MI_IDM_SEARCH_DUMMY_PARENT, Internal Search With

To these items:
[Edit Form Popup Menu]
[Edit Form Popup Menu Spellcheck Enabled]
[Edit Form Popup Menu Spellcheck Word]

However, selecting an item does not perform the search! I've gone up and down the file trying to figure out what I'm missing but I concede that I'm out of ideas. What must I be missing?

Thanks for your patience and your assistance.

No idea. It doesn't work for me either.

Is there a way to add two specific items from that menu, then?

Google Search with a Find icon.

Item, MI_IDM_SELSEARCH="Hotclick search, 0,,,"Find""

Thanks, Pesala. For some reason, even though the menu item shows up, clicking it has no effect. This is the same situation as the submenus have.

Should I file a bug?
