Notes is really a great tool for internet research! Just highlight the text you want to mark and Copy to Note. Wolla! And you can add your own comments and thoughts. So even you are offline, one can review your thoughts later. Truly useful when nowadays one has to surf so many different web pages for one idea. So you can easily group them under one note folder.

In fact I think the Note feature is underdeveloped. Opera with access to the html codes can possibly develop it into a powerful markup tool so needed.

Also, you can see the URL in the tooltip by leaving your mouse on a note for a couple of seconds.

Flavio: Yeah, that's true, 99.9% of the time that would work.

In my case, though, every single note is some variation on "`roll 1d(n)+(n)" (not very descriptive on its own), and you can't have any extra text, since it would break the macro (and erasing the extra text every time would take the convenience out of it).

Still, I agree, it was more of an idle wish on my part than anything, since mine's a very odd case... (though I guess it shows that Opera features can be useful for all sorts of weird things...)

Esteban: In Windows, look inside your “profile” directory (see opera:about) is a notes.adr file.

In Mac OS X look for ~/Library/Preferences/Opera Preferences/Notes

I know that this kind of defeats the purpose of not having to write a note down on paper, but I would like it if you could print a note directly in Opera without having to open anything else. Anyway, “notes” is just another feature that I have underused in Opera.

Another use for Notes is to store patterns/templates for e-mail replys.

To Liz Calkins:

I always use the very first line of the note as its title. Works (for me), as this is what is shown for every note when you right-click and choose "Insert Note".

I use Notes to store a set of boilerplate paragraphs I find myself having to email at least a couple of times a week. Resume cover letters, discussion board registration messages, that sort of thing. Having them immediately available via “Insert Note” is incredibly useful!

Rafi - Sorry, the schedule changed. search.ini will be coming soon, I promise.

Thanks for those who informed me about the notes storing the URL. All I have to say is "Well how 'bout that?"
