Opera's search shortcuts

Opera now (with version 9.x) allows you edit & add shortcut searches..
If you enter

g Opera

in the opera browser's adress bar, the Google search engine is started to search for "Opera".
You enter the settings under Tools-Preferences menu and then Search-tab.
A shortcut (which is keyword under settings) must be given, for example for Wikipedia English "we".
And then the address is given with the %s placeholder, which stands for the search string, that the user enters after the keyword.

Here are two examples to search the Wikipedia;

• Wikipedia in English
  • Keyword : we
  • Address : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s&go=Go
• Wikipedia in German
  • Keyword : wd
  • Address : http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Search?search=%s&go=Artikel

Basic Google Hacks

inurl:
Search for sites with specific url entry of any site. For example;

inurl:lvappl

searches sites with lvappl entry (live applet for webcams)

intitle:
Search for sites with the given title. For example;

intitle:"Live Applet"

searches sites, which have Live Applet words in their titles.

Other useful examples;

inurl:5800
filetype:pdf
intext:clinton
site:www.spiegel.de

Create a Text File Dynamically with User Input

The following code in a batch file (.bat)

echo Something to write to text file > %TEMP%/test.txt

creates a text file in temp-directory of system with the content in echo-command.

If one needs to append more lines to the text file, ">" becomes ">>". When only ">" is used, then the text file is overwritten everytime, the echo command is called.

For example, if one wants to create a reg-file according to the input parametrs of a batch file, i.e.

test.bat abc 1000 Admin

then following coding will be helpful;

@echo off
cls
echo.
if exist %TEMP%\%1.reg goto createFile

:createFile
echo REGEDIT4 > %TEMP%\%1.reg
echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Something] >> %TEMP%\%1.reg
echo "Entry1"="%2" >> %TEMP%\%1.reg
echo "Entry2"="%3" >> %TEMP%\%1.reg

regedit /s %TEMP%\%1.reg

pause
del %TEMP%\%1.reg
