[OU] Fw: Help, please

[Daryl Cook]

 Well, Joel, you where somewhat on the right track.  The area you  were
in allows you to add or delete what search engines you would like on your
drop box.  How to get the drop box back.  Instead of going to
Tools>Preferences go to Tools>Appearance.  This brings up the  Appearance
panel. (You can do the same thing by right clicking on a toolbar and then
selecting Customize.)  Besides being able to select  what toolbars you
 would like from the toolbars tab you can also select what buttons you
would like on these toolbars by going to the buttons tab.  From the
buttons tab go to the search category.  The very last search box is the
one with the drop down box.  By left clicking it you can drag it to a
toolbar and position it where you want.  As I recall it will not drag to
just any of the toolbars.  So if it doesn't place where you want it, try
it on a different toolbar. If you haven't tried customizing this is a
great way to get  Opera to look and work the way you want.  Want a button
you can press with your cursor to go to the URL that you just typed in.
 Go to browser view and drag the "Go" button to the right of the address
box for example.  Now you have one.  Want a digital clock in a toolbar. 
Go to the Status category and drag "Clock" to the left of the address box
or wherever.  Now you have one.  Hope this helps. Daryl

Directly to the right of my URL field is my search field.

Till yesterday, I had a dropdown menu consisting of Google, Ask, Yahoo,
Amazon, Wikipedia, eBay, Yahoo Shopping and others.

In order to re-instate these choices in this dropdown menu, I've gone to
Preferences>Search>Manage your search engines. I've highlighted each
selection I wanted back in this dropdown menu and clicked on "add" but
nothing happened.

Obviously, to re-populate this dropdown menu, I need instructions in lay
term on a novice level, since I'm a beginner. I deleted and downloaded
Opera
9.63 again, but the problem remained.

I'm running Opera version 9.63, Build 5261 on a Mac mini running Mac OS X
10.5.6.

Any help in plain, non-technical English will greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all in
advance.
