Two small search and tab suggestions

- I am missing the ability to arrange the order of the search engines in the search settings, like you can in for example Firefox.
- The tabs are at the top of the window, so why not make them click-able when the pointer is at the top of the screen?

Two suggestions which I hope are not hard to implement. smile

Go to opera:config and search for Chrome Integration Drag Area Maximized and set value to 0. Should help.

Ah nice! But I think this is not something an average user would've found... smile

I am missing this since ... ever. You can change the order and everything by editing the "search.ini" file in the Opera directory though, but it's a bit tricky. (Note: You must quit Opera before editing any .ini file, and then restart.)

EDIT: optimal81 just posted a link to the Search.ini-Editor. Well, of course that is easier than editing the file manually! I remember testing a very early version of the editor years ago. smile

Sorry, but what exactly does this setting do? I do not notice any difference. There are no tabs when maximized.
Using Opera on various platforms. Always the latest version. Linux Ubuntu/Gnome/Unity, Windows XP/7, Symbian 9.3 (Opera Mini)

+1, it's would be cool, if I have ability to move searches directly in Opera browser, not in external tool.
