Well you didn't explain that in the first post.

What you can do is press Alt+Enter after you type your query so it'll load in a new tab, then you can go back to the previous tab and edit the previous search term and/or switch to another search engine.

I know this isn't the best it could... But at the same time I don't see spending resources on adding a dedicated search box as something very worthwhile.

To me Opera is telling their fans that either use the browser the way it is or don't use it at all.

As every other browser vendor does.
It's always about a choice. Some browsers have features Opera doesn't. Some browsers don't have all the features Opera has. You have to chose the one that fits you best since the WWW has been invented.

Just a note. It doesn't make sense to post this kind of topic in beta/dev sub-forum. You should have went with the "Suggestion box", or the Windows/Mac/Linux if it was a question. I'm moving the topic.
Please bring back bookmarks sidebar and more

Thanks! This obviously tells me there ARE plans to bring such features back, which is encouraging. I will gladly check out Opera version BETA 25.

Perhaps it's better then if they'd make it different layouts - cause there won't be at all tidy there or even not possible to display the titles otherwise. It's like in Windows' folders' configuration: "previews", "tiles", "icons", "table", "list".
What do you think?
What if you could place your titled items into two columns, for example? That is if you want all your titles to be displayed all the time and they're long enough. :idea:

Getting rid of the tab-stacking feature is a deal-breaker for me. This is unacceptable. The only reason that I still use Opera is because of this feature. Opera has been on a mission to get rid of all of their most useful features for years now. First they get rid of all of the cool MyOpera features, and now this and a bunch of other unwanted changes since version 15. Great job making your browser exactly like everyone else's, Opera. I am going back to Firefox, or switching to Chrome--what is the difference between this browser and any other one now? I fucking hate this browser/company now!!!!

+100000000000 😛

It is still the main reason I don't switch to Opera 15+.
And I assume I'm not the only one: this item / request comes back again and again very often in the forum.

One example of the non logical default config:
You can already do previous/next with mouse gesture left/right. So why not redefine the rockergestures which do exactly the same thing?? (rocker gesture = hold one button and click the other)
This would be (much!! 🙂 ) useful:
RockerGesture to the left: switch to previous tab RockerGesture to the right: switch to next tab
Moreover, when you close a tab, I'm sure that very often your next action is to click on the tab bar to select an other tab, just because the new displayed one is not the one you wanted.
Why not let the user choose:
Down->Left: close and switch to previous tab Down->Right: close and switch to next tab
Etc... These are examples of what I was used to on Opera 12, but of course it can be different for anybody. Customization was SUCH a great great great feature!!!

Okay, thank you @l33t4opera! I had tried that code, but as it seems the image couldn't be loaded from the web path...:)

So here's another try. It's 3 steps:

...browsing on any website
First

when you focus the url-bar the speed dial is shown as a semi transparent overlay
Second

entering something (in this case "slas") will result in the third picture
Third
disable auto-suggest/autocomplete in address bar

Well '2' can already be done by the use of an extension.

[http://deb.opera.com/archive.key] didn't work for me a couple of days ago, but a cut and paste of the 2013b code did work.

I just took a look at the content of the file now, and it appears to only contain the 2013b key (not the 2013 one). So either it's been changed since or there was an error with my original key installation 🙂

PS, Very very happy with my Opera installation now. Runs significantly faster than my Chrome installation and love the mouse gestures.

Just for curiosity, what happened when you tried to use your regular email address?

btw, before a hint of confusion about my browser listings,
IE8 and IE9, that goes saying you've disabled unsecure ActiveX

I cannot manage my favorite locations on the web even in the most simplistic way

This is not the case here, the Speed Dial can hold your favorites into folders. If that's not simple I don't know what it is?
The bookmarks bar too, it can have folders and sub-folders.

Also, they're developing a bookmarks manager in the latest Opera "beta/apha" releases (developer stream), take a look: http://blogs.opera.com/desktop

Duplicate topic anyway.

You already asked those things before. Please don't create duplicate topics anymore, there's no need for that.

It was very useful (and still is, since O12 is my default browser).

Only Ctrl+LMB on Search menu opens a new tab with search results, but I'd like to have MMB like in Chrome.
