Hello all,

I'm having a bugger of a time with this one & I hope you guys can help.

I've got opera 9.5 on my diamond & until recently I had it tweaked so that when I used opera's search it gave me the full Google results page rather then the mobile version.

However I've recently done a hard reset & I'm struggling to rediscover this one.

Anybody out there know the secret of this?

Try opra:config
Also in setings tab you just have to select: identify as desktop computer instead as a handheld

Thanks for the assist but I've trawled trough opera:config but no joy & mobile view is off. As I scratch my head I'm pretty sure it was an .ini file type that needs to be edited but so far all the changes I've made don't work for me

Perhaps of you ask in the official Opera mobile thread more members can assist you, itīs in general section

Good luck,

OK I got it sussed!

With total commander go to \Windows\Opera9\locale\ & use the inbuilt editor to open search.ini

When it is open scroll down to [Google] & find the url field & paste http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%s&num=%i in place of the redirect opera url

Save it & you should now have a full size google search for the UK from your opera browser.

Enjoy
