This thread about Mozilla Firefox (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=728631) induced me to figure out a similar search bar for Opera.
Nothing against Firefox (I use it also), but my main browser is Opera and I'd much rather have a DP search bar than the IGN one that I created a while back.

Mods - If this is out of line for any reason, please delete the thread. I don't think that it takes away from the site, but if you'd prefer not to have the info up, I understand.

Copied straight from my search.ini:

[Search Engine 10]
Name=Digit Press
URL=http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/listing.cmf?title=%s&mfr=&released=&developer=&designer=&scarSgn=%3D&scarcity=&prSgn=%3D&dollars=&partno==&section=1
Query=
Key=dp
Encoding=iso-8859-1
Is post=0
Has endseparator=1
Search Type=109
VerbText=17063


This search will return a title search in US games only. I'm a US gamer mostly, so that's what I needed - but it can be customized to fit any search (or any number of searches).

Editing your search.ini is easy and painless, but if you don't want to mess around with it, then try Opera Search Editor (http://starzaki.eu.org/~hclan/operapl/en/). I find this most useful for sorting my dropdown menu.

Either use the dropdown search, add a new search field or just type "dp gamename" (minus quotes) into the address bar, and viola - it's Digit Press!

Props to user Pick who wrote the the Firefox plugin and inspired me to figure out the Opera version.

Thanks for the info, I'll try to find a place to incorporate it, perhaps in the online Guide FAQ.
