how to disable 'last used search engine'
Hi there Opera fans,Love the custom search engine in Opera, great feature.
However I do have a little annoyance I would like to avoid if possible.
My standard search engine is google but when I do a right click custom search, using lets say IMDB for the search engine, and later do another search expecting to get a google result I get an IMDB result instead.
I have to do a a right click custom search pointing to google to avoid this.
So is there a way to allways use google unless I specifically point to another right click custom search?
In other words not to use the last used search engine.
Hope I made my little problem clear, if not please tell me so I can maybe clarify it some more.

You need to change your menu. Find the [Hotclick Popup Menu] section and change
Item, MI_IDM_SELSEARCH=Hotclick search, 200
to
Item, MI_IDM_SELSEARCH=Hotclick search, 0
or simply
Item, MI_IDM_SELSEARCH=Hotclick search
But: Though this works for me and it causes a Google search regardless of the last used seach engine, I'm not sure if this works in any case. Documentation about standard_menu.ini and search.ini is sketchy and I assume that "0" selects the first engine in search.ini with "Search Type=0" - which happens to be Google. It does not perform a search with your default search engine (should that be different from Google) and I would be happy to know if a shortcut to the default search engine is possible.
