opera 9.5 beta out

<< < (2/6) > >>

Ah its great!
Now you can search for multiple words in any website you've visited straight from the addressbar.

In the alphas when you searched for "word word" it would come up empty after the space, now it works like it should.

tomos:
thanks for all those details nontroppo   :Thmbsup: :)


I used to have two different installs for me & the other "user" - we dont even have seperate user accounts
In fact I still do have 2 installs, no 3 - I have the "portable" version as well -
must read up your link about profiles  :up:

a nice thing about opera compared to FF is that you can have separate versions of it running at the same time no problem

Josh:
Still no roboform support, still no autocomplete support, still no way to edit stored passwords in the wand, I am still unable to make this MY BROWSER due to limitation by the developers and my inability to fully customize my browsing experience.

nontroppo:
justice: "word word" worked for me in the alpha, though they have reworked the search engine code so it is probably less buggy than before. What I do want is more advanced search option (NOT as well as AND, proximity search) and as a geek I'd love regex search from the address field  :-*...

I have to say, history search is the most amazing feature to hit a browser this year for me. Interestingly, Omniweb for the Mac has had this for 3 years or so (though they don't use the address bar for search matching). And Safari 3 in Leopard is adding this feature too (indexing into spotlight, so you can search from any app, but still not using the address field). But so far Opera is the only Windows/Linux app to do this. Note URLs and history items are classified by their popularity, the more you visit, the higer it is in the list, kind of like the scoring heuristics in FARR...

urlwolf:
Josh, I think I can fix at least one of your complaints: autocomplete.

The band can be converted to readable text (it's a hack, and kind of defeats the purpose), so you could retrieve passwords if needed.

I agree that Opera developers have a strange way of doing things. One cannot say that Opera is not customizable -on the contrary-, it's just that it's customizable in particular ways... and some obvious ways are completely forgotten.
