what I need seems to be a very simple feature: to perform a search over a list of search engines simultaneously. Yet I wasn't able to find an add-on, a script or another method to achieve this.

Hello,

Asking when Opera will "improve" itself back to the 12v is like asking when some car company will "improve" their current models to some point in the dim past... and it's just as likely to occur.
It isn't. Well, I do admit there is more emotionality in the formulated question than was required, still I don't agree that asking for the multiple good useful features the Presto Opera had equals asking for NEEDLESS features or asking for the past to be brought back. The Bleep engine seems to bypass such options as menu editing, keyboard navigation and (sic!) a browsable bookmarks manager in it's ethos. Just think about this: now to open a torrent link in a certain client, you have to store it/open a file manager/then first locate the dl'ed file and only then choose the destined application via a context menu. In your ill-suited analogy of car models that would constitute to switching to a "new" five wheels/three doors standard model line with a pretentious marketing campaign mentoring it's justified by 'modernity'.
The whole new Opera browser stinks enormously though - I'll give it to it - beating the old in displaying now few but soon to be more new web-sites. And my intuition suggests this is some irreversible resolute decision by the Opera people who, regrettably, with the large sums of cash infused by Google just follow their orders and plans, having totally abandoned, no - ruined - the unique, brilliant, highly and cognitively human-adjusted vision of the browser. Truthfully, RIP Opera.
All this frustration resulted in my impatient rude threads pleading for a silver-lining to the dreadful calamity. But generally, putting the wailing over this callous murder aside, what plans does the developer team have about Opera? Will the menu customization be ever brought back, for example?
Your answer makes sense leuschino. Thanks for it.
I've no trust in Opera developers after what they've been doing for the last 1,5 years, I think Google just corrupted the whole good browser with big sums of money. They're all victims of greed and I don't desire to consort with such kind of folks. Will just keep an eye for good news I guess..
thread after thread
It is my second thread after the first one was closed - I was rude there, I admit it, but I still do want to get question answered and did NEITHER intend NOR WAS actually spamming. that's first.
Opera is NOT going to give you or anyone else any time-lines
Secondly, I again DID NOT demand time-lines from Opera employees but was rather inquiring if such plans exist. And certainly I did not intend to offend anyone personally, so please keep your temper.
why is it useless, leushino? the new opera is a horrible user-unfriendly product. there seems to be even no bookmarks/download manager. Why can one NOT call the new browser a disaster and ask for the old features to be brought back?
please answer my question, don't freeze it.
the ver. 12.17 I'm using now. But I still cannot get the justifications for moving to the bleeping Blink engine. So long as the old good features of pre 15 Opera are not returned - DAMNED be those who maimed the brilliant product from Norway.
angiesdom, thank you very much for pointing out that the extensions worked Ok on Opera 12. I had the User Agent Changer installed for Google to have the latest layout (Google fetches the old layout for Opera 12) - and hence could not install any extension as the download page assumed I was browsing it through Firefox.
I put these two lines into my already functioning AdBlock Plus and the Youtube search bar vanished:
`www.youtube.com##DIV[id="yt-masthead-container"][class="yt-grid-box yt-base-gutter"]
www.youtube.com##DIV[id="masthead-positioner-height-offset"]`
I had to put the second filter as the first though removed the search bar itself left the empty space behind it in place and since it was space that I was initially seeking when trying to remove the search bar, I needed the second filter to do that job as well. Thanks very much for help as I wouldn't know how to write filter code for the AdBlock myself. Consider the topic solved.
Sgunhouse, My Opera version is 12.16 and I have AdBlock Plus installed, though unfortunately I don't know how to employ it to remove the Youtube top bar.
I've tried both Stylish and adblock and they both require an "Opera-browser" - probably the updated version, but I don't want to update since I couldn't figure out how to create custom context menus (important for me) in the v.24.x Opera and the new version also put me off as one cannot navigate through pages with keyboard as easily (shift + Up/Down/Left/R, custom shortcuts for new or private tabs and so on).
Do you know of a way to remove the Youtube bar?
And if not, perhaps you could help me with the method of blocking html code snippets from loading, since to have the bar gone one just needs preventing these two lines of html code from loading in Opera:
<div id="yt-masthead-container" class="yt-grid-box yt-base-gutter">
<div id="masthead-positioner-height-offset"/>
Got any idea?
Update:
One only needs to manually edit the keyword of the SE one wants to have to answer to the 'f' keyw in the search.ini, not in the browser's "manage SEs menu" and the keyword search in the address bar executes the search through that search engine.
