Custom Google search bar?

Hiya,


I'd like to add a modified Google search bar to Opera, but need help doing it.

Recently Google dropped their built-in dictionary that gave a hyperlink for checking the definitions of words you were Googling. What I'd like to do is add a second Google search bar/box to the Main Bar in Opera (I always keep two searches up there, "Find in Page" and "Google"), except for this modified search it would somehow include "Define:[word]" as default, hidden input. "Define:" is a handy Google search command that gives you lots of useful info on an input word, and would do very well as a replacement for the missing function. If anyone knows how to modify one of the searches in this way, I'd greatly appreciate you walking me through it. smile

Note: There is no space between "Define:" and the input word, nor any quotes. Example:

define:opera


Thanks for any help!

Add a search, Preferences > Search > Add, and use http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=define:%s&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 as the address. Use whatever else you want for the other options.

(Essentially I just added 'define:' before the %s of the default google search)
