ive been doing this for years on all my opera installs… what i dont understand is why it is that opera, one of the best, most feature-rich browsers around, still requires me to hunt down config files and edit them with a text editor to hand what SHOULD have been in the configuration UI several versions ago?
using
Is it possible to change this feature to do a dictionary/encyclopedia search in a background window instead of the in the current window?
using
Yes.
Item, MI_IDM_SELENCYCLOPED = Copy & New page & Go to page, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%c" & Minimize pageNote: You have to use %c
using
Thanks. That works!
However, the label for this function in my menu is now “Item”. How can I rename this to “Wikipedia” or something more meaningful?
using
But this only was for the encyclopedia part. How do I do the same for the dictionary? I tried to change the % to %c for the string I currently use, but that didn’t work.
This is the string I use for my Norwegian dictionary:
Item, MI_IDM_SELDICTIONARY = Go to page, “http://www.dokpro.uio.no/perl/ordboksoek/ordbok.cgi?OPP=%t&bokmaal=S%F8k+i+Bokm%E5lsordboka&ordbok=bokmaal&s=n&alfabet=n&renset=j”
using
You didn’t use copy.
Item, Wikipedia = Copy & New page & Go to page, “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%c” & Minimize pageItem, Norwegian dictionary = Copy & New page & Go to page, “http://www.dokpro.uio.no/perl/ordboksoek/ordbok.cgi?OPP=%c&bokmaal=S%F8k+i+Bokm%E5lsordboka&ordbok=bokmaal&s=n&alfabet=n&renset=j” & Minimize page

The wikipedia one does work, but the dictionary one doesn’t.
What happens is that a new page opens, and the F2 shortcut pop-up “go to page” opens, and waits for me to type in a web address. The web address for my dictionary is not entered automatically and the search is not performed.
I have tried with two other dictionaries as well to check if the url I’m using here is incorrect, but the same happened woth both of them.

Opera Watch isnt what it used to be.
Before there were lots and lots of interesting information about Opera.. now, we’re lucky if we see three posts in a month.
This site is almost like it’s dead ;–(.

There is no longer a single author, and they apparently have problems coordinating their work. Or worse: They all feel like someone else ought to write instead of them self. It is a shame.
I do, however, disagree with you when you say the site is dead. It is still alive, and we get content regularly enough. Maybe there just is not much going on at Opera?
