Opera doesn't seem to take into account the Search Type=50 any more.
Maybe it has something to do with this:
http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/752/index.dml

The only tips I can give you are:
1) Make sure you're opening the search.ini in the Opera folder, not your  
profile folder.
2) If you still can't find the string, you may use a proxy server that  
lets you see exactly what URL Opera is using. Then look for that URL in  
both search.ini files and replace it with  
http://us.imdb.com/find?q=%s;tt=on;nm=on;mx=20
