how to add other search engines to opera

[T6]

i don't like google as the default search engine, it is good but sometimes doesn't do what i need

i used to work with metacrawler until i abandoned firefox

in opera i couldn't find the way to add metacrawler directly until i found the steps required to do it

1. open opera web browser

2. in the address bar write the address of the search page you prefer, in my case i wrote www.metacrawler.com

3. right click on the search box and click on create search



4. in the search engine you can put a name for the new search engine, a keyword and mark use as default search engine to replace google or your current search engine and use as speed dial search engine




just mark what you need and press ok

don't modify the address or the new search engine could not work

if you marked use as default the new search engine should be in use immediately



i tried this process with bing, yahoo, google, ask between others and worked well

hope this info helps other opera users
