[HOWTO] integrate vb.org into Opera quicksearch
by Tradjick 22 Oct 2005

Opera users love the feature for typing f.ex. "g vbulletin styles" in the address bar for searching a term in google.

It would be nice to have this feature for vbulletin.org, wouldn´t it?

Here´ s how you do it:

1.) in Opera, goto "Help" -> "about Opera" and find out where your path to your config files are.

2.) go to that directory and make a copy paste of search.ini and rename the old one to search.ini_old f.ex.

3.) open search.ini and add the following:

HTML Code:
[Search Engine xx]
Name=vB.org
URL=http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/search.php
Query=query=%s&do=process&titleonly=1&searchuser=&starteronly=0&exactname=1&replyless=0&replylimit=0&searchdate=0&beforeafter=after&sortby=lastpost&order=descending&showposts=0&forumchoice%5B%5D=0&childforums=1&dosearch=Search+Now&saveprefs=1
Key=vborg
Encoding=utf-8
Is post=1
Has endseparator=0
Search Type=0
VerbText=17063
...replacing the "XX" with the appropriate number.

4.) close Opera, open it and type "vborg searchitem" into the addressbar.

5.) goback to search.ini and edit the settings to your liking

NJOY!!
