I really like opera mobile but there is this silly thing which is nagging me. Whenever I want to do a new search, I go to the search bar but the previous search is still there.
I have to select the words then choose select all then delete it before I can do a new search. In, opera mini, all the terms are selected by default when I click on the search bar., so I just need to press delete and put in my new search term. So much more convenient
well theres no fix atm...
tell opera abt it.

Ok guys, here is what you do. Go to your Bing search app on your HD2. Go to directory. Once there go to the Menu soft key. There you will find the download for Navigation. Make sure you have Skyfire browser loaded as this will be your default browser (I prefer this over Opera). Once Skyfire loads it will direct you to the site, don't be alarmed it might say your phone isn't supported, bypass and go to "Try Bing anyway ". You will now be directed to the download. The navigation is awesome and since we were robbed with Telenav, this is a very good choice. Let me know if it works.
So where have you been? Bing navigation has been out and working on the HD2 for sometime.
Funny....how many people dont know how to get it...just a little post for those who may have use for it. By the way i searched this thread, nothing comes up for help with navigation. And yes its been out there but not all can get it.
I simply downloaded a Bing app from the marketplace.
sheesh! and opera mobile 10 works on hd2 too! hahahhahahaha
Hi All
I've googled this issue ive been having countless times, but to no avail. The problem is the following:
Ive just gotten my new xperia ray. I use the stock browser because its fast and basic. I often use the address bar for googling as I used to with my X10(both gingerbread). With my X10 I used to get the results displayed in the mobile google webpage. With my Ray, it doesnt do that. It gives me google search results, but displayed with a "powered by google" heading, and very limited access to things like images etc.
This is extremely annoying because I now need to first go to the google website before and search there if I want my search results displayed properly with the option of switching to image results. Some idiot at the sony factory thought he was smart and added this usesless stock setting.
I assume I somehow need to specify the settings of my stock search engine. All I get in settings is yahoo, bing and google. Nothing more and no more settings. Obviously google is selected as the stock search.
I hope theres someone out there who can give me some advice. I fear that otherwise this is going to piss me off untill ICS.

There is a help thread
Just change 'View Google in' on the bottom of the search page. Should fix it.
Thanks for the reply, but I think you might be misunderstanding. I dont want to view it in desktop mode, I want to view it in the normal mobile mode not the mode where it substitutes the normal google links (like images, maps etc) for a "powered by google heading"
I want to be able to search for say "cat", get all the web search results for cat and then have the image link availible so that I cab look at images of cats if I want to.
Atm I have to either go to the google website first to get the same results. If I search straight into the address box, I get the silly "powered by google" result.

AFAIK, it is not happening with mine. I got some tabs at the top to search another type (like image) Maybe you can try to log in to your google account first from browser, and then when you do a searching, try to find setting link from that page. I haven't tried it but if i remember correctly, with google account attached to your browser you might get what you want for.
Hello to everybody,
I have a small strange thing.
When I use ICS (or ICS+) browser on the xda site and wanting to do a search, here is what happens :
- I touch the "search this forum" button
- it opens the field below
- I touch the "free text area " to start typing
- I see the keyboard sliding up, and then as quickly, it slides back down and the search box closes...
as a result, I can not perform any search on the XDa site.
It does not do that with Opera nor with dolphin.
PS :as a matter of fact, that was yesterday, because this morning, there is not even the "search" button only the "forum tools" one... but I believe it is related to a temporary site issue.
Anyway, has anyone experienced this? Where could it be coming from?
Same here, quite frustrating....
Same here with stock browser.
If you use the keyboard dock it works. But when use a onscreen keyboard you cant type in this sorts of popup text fields
WOW, thanks for bringing this up. I have had this problem for god knows how long. I first noticed it with my rooted HTCEVO. I seem to have this problem with just about all the forums. Now my prime also.
Is it an Android thing? Did it work for you guys with a different browser? Weird, I havent been able to use the function for so long I havent even looked for the search, and now I too see that it is gone. Is it a Vbulletin vs Android thing?
Would love to know the problem/solution.
thanks.....
EDIT: I have a dock, but never tried the search function with it. Now I guess we cant, I dont see the ability to "search this forum". What happened?
Anyway, there seems to be something going on with the search function on the forum now...

edit 05/03/12 : search function is now back on the forum. I'll try again the ICS issue, see if it is still there...
Search function is still not working for me on browser+. However, I know it's not ideal for a quick search, but if it's any consolation the advance search field works.
Kind Regards,

+1 for the "advanced search" option... bothered me at first but, one more click isn't all that bad...
Hey guys, did a quick Google search on this and didnt see any answers to this bizarre quirk.
I am on non-rooted ICS (stock) - no comments from the peanut gallery about this. Once CM is stable enough that I feel I can use it, Ill switch.
Now, on to the problem.
I installed Chrome and set it to the default browser (but Ill probably change it considering what Im about to post) and set the home page to google.
I begin typing a search query, for example, 'Samsung AT&T No' and Google presents some suggestions of what it thinks Im going to actually search for. Tapping ANY of these suggestions hides the suggestion list and does NOT fill in my query with the suggestion I tapped. In addition, the keyboard is also hidden until I tap in the query edit field again.
In addition, Id like to just state for the record, xda is TERRIBLE on mobile (the website). I dont know what this new 'theme' is but it is barely functional on mobile, on the desktop, the website is completely broken in Firefox (14.0.1 w/ No Script and Tree Style Tabs plugins installed - and yes, I am enabling scripting for XDA).
So, I have reverted to the old xda theme until this is fixed.
BUT, does anyone know what is wrong with Chrome?
Is Chrome out of beta?
if you click the arrow next to the auto complete search query it will fill it in for you.

Yeah I was having this same issue. I am rooted and using the stock browser, same goes for the google search widget. But the answer above solves the problem.

This feature likely doesn't exist, but maybe someone out there has a possible solution.
When using s voice on the watch, it would be nice to have the ability to have the search result links take you to the opera mini browser within the watch. Or have that option, anyway. Any thoughts if this is worth having?

Agreed. The best I've got it to do is say "open opera" and the browser opens. Opera does have the shortcuts or quick links on their home page... But it's just not the same as Google Now or s-voice.
