Where is the custom search option?

Anyone know how to add more search services?

Version 4.2 had the "add search" thing when I opened a text box. No more?

Amazing!

Just downloaded Opera Mini 5 Beta this morning and so far it is great! Soo fast and love the speed dial feature on the homepage along with the little google search box. Best browser so far. Loaded a full website in less than 10 seconds with my BB 9530 Storm and I didnt even have EVDO. The flick scrolling could be a little bit better but other than that from what i've played with it is amazing!

Opera Link isn't available in Beta, by the way.

It does run smoo...
