Ok, so i does, now the question remains who of my friends changed my homepage to meatspin? ROFL...

Prooves how little (well never really) i use my homepage, what is the point in opera with speedial, personalbar and bookmark links? Its a bit archaic really...

It was only recently I found out what Meatspin was.

I'm using my homepage (google.co.uk/ig) less and less. The Opera portal page or whatever Opera defaults to was quite good for me. I don't really need much from a homepage, just something that isn't too slow to load and isn't too erm cluttered. A nice simple layout to start my web browsing. Might change it back.

How is everyone getting on with Kestrel? I've downloaded the 9542 build from http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/.

I've noticed that when I do a search from the browser such as "g Manchester" if I type a long search string or type a lot quickly then Opera freezes and I have to wait 20 seconds at least for it to "catch up" with what I wrote and to carry out the search. Now I just tried doing a "g search term" in 9.23 and I didn't get this. Can anyone else who has the in-line searches setup and has 9.23 and a Kestrel build test this for me?

Yes, started suffereing from exactly the same problem, as my history filled up, because it has the new indexed history function. Latest build fixed that and my wand password problems, as well as streamlining a few other things

All good for me!

MarcLister · 27-09-2007, 22:49

Latest build? Newer than the 9542 build? Getting feelings of deja vu here!

LeperousDust · 27-09-2007, 23:53

Oh sorry the latest beta build fixed that bug for me, i read your post wrong. I had that problem before when my history was turned on (i just turned it off and stopped using it) but now it seems to work again with the new build...

MarcLister · 27-09-2007, 23:58

Set Addresses in the History page to 0?

LeperousDust · 28-09-2007, 00:20

Yeah i turned them off, its an indexing history search bug i guess, hard to pin down though, even when i set my history to something tiny it still happened, so i turned the advance history index search (or whatever the hell its called) off, so its back to how it is in 9.23, just url searching as you type... Hope you understand that
