    Would it be possible to have the search function bar also added for Opera browsers? I used to use it a lot with my Mozilla browser but because of technical difficulties am stuck with Opera now and that function is only applicable to IE and Firefox browsers.

    Nope, Opera needs to support OpenSearch format, if it doesn't then we can't do anything about it.

    Oh I see, did not realise it was from the browser itself. I apologise.

    PS: Thanks for the Dreamcast ISO's :)

    A lot of sites don't support Opera, does it have anything to do with security risk issues? Also, in some cases Opera seems to function more stable-y than Firefox. I've seen a lot of Internet Cafe's here who have FireFox 3.0.3 that randomly crash for some reason, the browser that is, not the PC. Sometimes you're browsing normally then FireFox crashes unexpectedly. And so did with my terminal (Dave), after the 3.0.3 update, things got a bit wacky. Actually, even on 3.0.1, I started getting issues, one of which was a spiked add on update.

    I would have gotten back to Opera, except some of the sites I go to, like Meez.com doesn't support it. So back to lame 'ol IE I go :(

    firefox 3.0.3 is fine for me, and problems with opera are likely caused by differences in the rendering engine. Regardless, both are significantly better than IE.

    It's not us who don't support Opera, it's Opera who don't support the open search format.
