modifying "g google" search


Recommended Posts

firstly, sorry if its been asked before...

is there a way to modify the "g search" in the address bar so that the results are brought from google.co.uk rather than google.com?

being in the UK, i'd find the british google search more useful.

thanks

Either C:\Program Files\Opera\Search.ini (I think), or C:\Documents And settings\Your Username\Application Data\Opera\Search.ini, just change the google part from .com to .co.uk, apparently they've changed the way this works in the latest versions but i'm not sure tbh.

Yeh, depends how you installed it ;)

Did you restart opera?

Here on this page Opsed homepage you can find exactly what you need. Opsed is very useful tool and I have added to my search.ini lots of valuable stuff.

It's easy and fast.

C:\Program Files\Opera\profile\search.ini

C:\Program Files\Opera\profile\search.ini.000

(Have to open in notepad)

Change the search criteria there. Thats if you want to do it manually.

application data is a hidden folder, to unhide click Tools - Folder Options - View - Show hidden files and folders
