Creating and using custom searches in Opera

[Steve]

Here's how to create and use custom searches in Opera: -

 

1. Go to any site where you would search for something - YouTube, for example

2. Right-click in the search box on YouTube and choose "Create Search...."

3. In the box that opens, give your custom search a name ("YouTube", for example) and choose an appropriate keyword (which can be a single letter), y, for example, then hit OK

 

Now you can search YouTube directly from Opera's address bar, no matter what site you're on, by typing the letter y before the search term(s), so if you type this: -

 

y d-styles scratching

 

That will search for "d-styles scratching" on YouTube and return the results.

 

What you can also do is highlight any word or term on any page, then right-click and choose "Search With" and then you can choose from any of the custom searches you've created.

nice

 

I liked Opera but i ditched it because pages seemed to load a lot slower than in Chrome, and even Firefox. Bit of a vague question, but hae you noticed the loading speed improve? If so I might switch back.
