To delete the search engines... you swipe to the right... to add...am not sure.

Seem like you should stick to opera mini 7.6.4... to get separate address and search box...

I like the combination of both the search and the address... Makes things clean and easy to use.

Please let us open images in the current tab.
Opening in a background tab should be an option.

Thanks.

To add search engines you visit the search engine you want to add and then long press on the search field to open up the context menu. There you will find an option to add the search engine (this is the same way as it was done in Mini 7).

This method does not work with websites like www.ixquick.com
Is there any way to add this search engine?
How to change the default search engine? After restart it is always Google.

but not until restart.

maybe you confuse it for multiple tabs search. now each tab remember its own last used search engine. start with Google obviously.

Hello there!

I would be really thankful if anybody could advise on jquery's weird behavior in opera mini 8 (full version is 8.0.1807.91281). When the following code is placed directly in head tags it works,

<head>
<script src="jquery.js"> type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#hasphone').show();
$('#hasmail').show();
});
</script>
</head>

However, trying to keep my head nice and clean and doing the following simply stops this simple function's execution. I created my show.js file, placed it in my head and also referenced jquery like this:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="show.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"> </script>
</head>

Then I placed my simple function inside my show.js file like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
$('#hasphone').show();
$('#hasmail').show();
});

It works fine in all the major browsers I tested it in (Opera Classic, IE, Safari, Chrome, FF) but it just fails in opera mini 8. Could anybody advise please, what I am doing wrong here? My vague guess is that opera mini 8 has its rendering stuff off this browser and does it remotely via their servers, that's why the only way for it to work in opera mini is to put the code directly in head. I am not sure I am on the right track here but that's the only workaround I've found so far to force it work in opera mini 8.

Would appreciate any help /comments at all as this thing slowly starts driving me crazy Many thanks in advance!

I upgraded to jquery 1.11.3 and keep the lines in this order now:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.11.3.min.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="show.js"> </script>
</head>

I removed one extra closing bracket from the line below right after jquery.js:

<script src="jquery.js"> type="text/javascript"></script>

so the correct line looks like this:

<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

However, that did not help. The trick was in my other scripts' order. That is I reversed the order I had and it started to work. For example I had script1, script2, script3 placed like this:

<script src="script1.js"> type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="script2.js"> type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="script3.js"> type="text/javascript"></script>

Now I have changed it to:

<script src="script1.js"> type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="script3.js"> type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="script2.js"> type="text/javascript"></script>

and it all revived. Hope it will help someone out there. Make sure you check / experiment with your scripts' places and chances are it will work for your as well. Just remember it all has to go coherently and successively.
