Possible location:
C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\
Just rename "Opera Stable" to "Opera Stable_old"

To use the custom search just type the letter then a space followed by your search. You MUST have a space after the shortcut letter.
Like this: "i pontiac gto"
edit: the IMDb advanced search was not working and I had to remove it.
First of all absolutely love the workspaces feature. It has lead me to make it my daily driver once again.
I had 5 workspaces opened 1.default 2.work 3.shopping 4.wrk4 5.wrk5 . 4 and 5 were being used for research on current projects. Had about 10 tabs opened. Closed Opera and upon reopening workspace 5 was wiped out. All it had was the speed dial page.
Does this happen a lot ? Has anyone else had this happen ? Any info is helpful.
Been using Opera off and on since 98 / 99.
