Mac Spotlight - Websites

The new Spotlight feature in Lion allows users to see websites are stored on the Computer. Does this work with Opera or just Safari?

I assume you mean QuickLook. This is handed internally by OS X using WebKit. So it is not really relevant to Opera.

Opera data is not included in the Spotlight metadata directory. This may change in the future.

Spotlight integration would be excellent!

As for the original post, I think he's talking about a combination of quicklook and spotlight, as shown <A href="http://www.macstories.net/mac/all-you-need-to-know-about-quick-look-in-lion-plus-some-handy-tips-and-tricks/">here.</A>.

I have not actually tried Lion yet but I know that in Snow Leopard QuickLook works for html pages that have not been opened in Safari (i.e. ones on your desktop that you are writing) so hopefully the leap from Opera Spotlight integration to Opera Spotlight integration with previews isn't too large.

Sites that are visited by Safari are saved in history and this is displayed when searching using Spotlight; when you hover the site, a preview is displayed.

It would be nice if Spotlight would also the website of history from Opera, one can hover over and it shows a preview of ths site and by pressing enter it could open Opera and the chosen site.

This feature is new in Lion, yes^, and only works with Safari?

It would be nice if this could be implemted into Opera, it only works with Safari's history / websites.
