How to Add Searches to Opera Toolbars

Opera shares many features found in Internet Explorer, Firefox and other major browsers. Opera supports tabs, you can install add-ons and it has search capabilities. For example, if you want to search Google for recipes, enter that word in Opera's search box, and the browser will forward the query to Google. You can place additional search boxes on Opera's tool bar by adding them to the browser, and then moving them to the tool bar.
